Description Brad Hinson 2007-07-25 20:02:43 UTC 
Description of problem:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-5-manual/as-IN/Installation_Guide/s2-s390info-qeth.html

# echo 1 /sys/bus/ccwgroup/drivers/qeth/0.0.0600/online
should be
# echo 1 > /sys/bus/ccwgroup/drivers/qeth/0.0.0600/online

Also on the next line, there should a line break, i.e. the "1" should be on the
next line.

Additional info:
Saw this reference on a public mailing list.  It's really throwing people off
when configuring networking.
Comment 1 Brad Hinson 2007-07-27 21:54:17 UTC 
In addition, the statement:

To change the value of if_name, run the following command:
# echo new_if_name > /sys/bus/ccwgroup/drivers/qeth/0.0.0600/if_name

is not correct. "if_name" is a read-only attribute and cannot be changed.
The same is true for the attributes "card_type", "chpid", and "state". They
should be removed from the list of "settable" attributes.

This BZ is now over a year old.  Any update?

Ryan,

Please ensure this gets into the RHEL5 Installation Guide
