Comment 2 Harald Hoyer 2003-08-15 13:44:29 UTC 
Hmm, some directories seem to be missing..
# mkdir -p /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default
# mkdir -p /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices

if that does not work please give me the output of:

# find /etc/sysconfig/networking

Unfortunately, still not working.
