Description of problem:

[root@localhost ~]# service network start
Bringing up loopback interface:                            [  OK  ]
Bringing up interface Auto_kiilerich:  Usage: grep [OPTION]... PATTERN [FILE]...

cat: /sys/class/net//ifindex: No such file or directory
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-eth: line 302: 1000 + : syntax error: operand expected (error token is "+ ")
Missing config file ifcfg-ifcfg-Auto_kiilerich.
Command line is not complete. Try option "help"
                                                           [  OK  ]



The two failing greps are because ifup-eth calls "is_available ${REALDEVICE}" where REALDEVICE isn't set, and is_available() in 
network-functions starts with a grep which fails if $1 isn't set.

(check_link_down() is also called without parameters because DEVICE isn't set, but that cause no immediate failure.)

Finally cat fails when adding zeroconf rule, again because REALDEVICE isn't set, and that causes the bash calculation to fail.
