Description Gerd v. Egidy 2001-01-16 14:19:18 EST 
I want to be able to create a ethernet device without assigning an IP and 
without modifying the routing table.
I need this for a eth-device connected to a DSL-modem using PPPoE.
The reason I don't want to use a fake IP is that I'm going to distribute 
this configuration and don't know if the IP / Network I've chosen is 
really bogus in the context of all users.

I've made a patch against initscripts 5.49 which adds a device without IP 
if the IPADDR var in ifcfg-ethx is empty.

Request seconded. I have the same situation and had to trick around, too.

A slightly different version is added in 5.60-1 - thanks for the patch.
