Hi Georges,
I have had some similar issues with several network cards in the server.
And I did not find any autoyast option/function to solve it.
The solution I found was a postscript, as you mentionned.
Now, if you have only one network card to configure, to can proceed that
way:
1- identify the Mac address of the used card
2- identify the module used by this card
3- configure "nameif" to create "your_eth" ... (man nameif :p )
4- create the ifcfg-your_eth file
5- update /etc/modules.conf with "alias your_eth module"
it should bypass your issue with the eth number that can depend on the
other modules loaded.
In case you are relunctant to use nameif... well.. your post script must be
a bit more complex..
but it is still possible. :))
hope it will help.
Regards,
Damien.
