Hi all,
since some time we provide persistent network interface names.
Therefore we don't need to work with hardware descriptions in network
setup scripts. From now on we will name network configuration files
again ifcfg-<interface> and nothing else.
/sbin/getcfg/ was formerly necessary
- to get the current interface name from a hardware description
-> obsolete
- to find the right configuration file
-> obsolete
- to provide information about the device/interface
-> obsolete (sysfs has improved in between)
- to do some special tricks on S390
-> will move into some S390-package
There are still some other packages which use getcfg. If you are
maintainer of such an package please remove getcfg from it. For
possible configuration files that contain hardware descriptions i will
provide a conversion tool. Just contact me in such a case or for other
questions.
