hi, i'm new to autoyast and did my first network autoinstall of suse8.2pro last week. everything went well except that no network interface was configured even if it was defined in the config file as follows: <networking> <dns> <dhcp_hostname config:type="boolean">true</dhcp_hostname> <dhcp_resolv config:type="boolean">true</dhcp_resolv> <domain>local</domain> <hostname>linux</hostname> <nameservers config:type="list"/> <searchlist config:type="list"/> </dns> <interfaces config:type="list"> <interface> <bootproto>dhcp</bootproto> <device>eth-pcmcia</device> <dhclient_set_down_link>yes</dhclient_set_down_link> <startmode>hotplug</startmode> <wireless>no</wireless> </interface> </interfaces> <modules config:type="list"/> <routing> <ip_forward config:type="boolean">false</ip_forward> <routes config:type="list"/> </routing> </networking> after installation, i had to configure the pcmcia device by hand using normal yast. then everything was ok. i would appreciate any ideas as to why the network configuration was not done during the autoinstall. thanks, Duane Deang
