Comment 2 Radek Vykydal 2011-01-10 13:17:39 UTC

This is pykickstart part of the original anaconda bug. It adds two network
command flag options: --activate and --nodefroute.

--activate option causes the device to be activated in loader (by default it is
off). For the first network command, it is always on to keep rhel 5 behaviour.

--nodefroute option sets DEFROUTE=no in ifcfg file to prevent grabbing of
default route by the device.

Comment 4 Radek Vykydal 2011-01-26 14:34:48 UTC

This should be fixed in pykickstart-1.74.5-1.

Update to comment #2:
network --bootproto=ibft options was added (see
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=638131#c16 for details).

Verified with pykickstart-1.74.5-1 on snap #5.
