should not be hard to implement but I did not see a reason so far.

Currently Im using autoyast to setup a local build server. Ive managed to include add-on repositories and specify the OBS_BuildServer pattern in the Yast2 autoinstallation module. During the autoinstall process however, a dialog complains that the OBS_BuildServer pattern is not available. I suspect that this happens because the network device is not configured until stage2 and the installer is not able to find the pattern from the add-on repository during stage 1. Ive been able to overcome this problem by not using patterns and instead using the <post-packages> element and hand selecting the packages that would normally be part of the pattern. Hence Im able to work-around the fact that the pattern is unavailabe in stage 1, but it would be nice to have the possibility to specify a post-pattern. Clearly there is a use case for <post-pattern> selection, but maybe not very compelling. Alternatively, it would be nice to configure the network device during the initial installation (as is possible in the interactive graphical installation of opensuse 10.3) then one wouldn't have to specify <post-packages>. Hence a use case exists for bringing up the network device early in stage1.

How difficult would it be to implement this?
