Hi,
when I install linux using SLES9 my network card will get a unique name in /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth-id-MAC, in the file there is a 'UNIQUE' value set.
When I insert a new network card after the installation, the network card will not get these UNIQUE values....not really a autoyast issue or ist it?

Hi,
the UNIQUE field is provided by the hardware detection library and YaST uses it to decide whether the card appears as yet unconfigured or not. It is not specific to autoyast.
Hi,
off topic: okay, but how to add a card to the system with UNIQUE? When I use yast it didn't work. There should be a way to create such a ID or even better yast should create it the same way it does during install.

hwinfo (hwinfo --netcard) shows it as Unique ID: lgGW.8+JGOf3W7j3 If autoyast doesn't write UNIQUE, that is a bug. I'll check.
Hi,
autoyast write the UNIQUE information during install! The problem is: 1. System is running and installed. 2. I add a new card to the server. 3. Using yast to set the new card config => yast didn't write UNIQUE.
My idea was, that autoyast probably does something wrong. But this isn't an autoyast problem, anyway I' ll check the problem with SP1.

Thanks.

I am getting ths problem during an autoyast installation on a DL585 - I have build plenty in the past and never had this problem but on one i just end up with a file config file named /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth-- . Anybody seen this before?
