1. Feature Overview:
Feature Id:	[201679]
a. Name of Feature:	Change list of Anaconda network alternatives to indicate supported devices on
System z
b. Feature Description
Anaconda gives the user an equal choice between four types of network  devices to use (ctc, iucv,
qeth, lcs) even though the Install Guide states that two of those options (ctc, netuicv) are
deprecated. This increases the chance for unexperienced users to choose the wrong type of network.
  
The choice should explicitly state, which options are deprecated and they should only be chosen by
the user, if he knows that they are necessary e.g. due to a specific hardware configuration.
 
The corresponding architecture specific installation documentation should be updated accordingly.

"Updated patches as discussed in RHEL 5.4 Installer eSDT to reflect correct
handling/user interaction of MAC address with Layer2 devices and text for
CTC for migration purposes, which remains deprecated".
