BTW, do you know how to identify the module name used by a network interface? Replyed From: george_king <br><br>> <br>> Hi Georges,<br>> <br>> I have had some similar issues with several network cards in the server.<br>> And I did not find any autoyast option/function to solve it.<br>> The solution I found was a postscript, as you mentionned.<br>> <br>> Now, if you have only one network card to configure, to can proceed that<br>> way:<br>> <br>> 1- identify the Mac address of the used card<br>> 2- identify the module used by this card<br>> 3- configure "nameif" to create "your_eth" ...
