Description Trond Eivind Glomsrxd 2001-10-30 16:54:16 UTC

neat creates network devices with nicknames. The initscripts uses some of
the information to guess other filenames, which breaks device init.

E.g., if you create a device named "mycipe" using "cipcb0", you'll get
these files:

[root@oslo sysconfig]# find -name "*cip*"
./network-scripts/ifdown-cipcb
./network-scripts/ifup-cipcb
./network-scripts/ifcfg-mycipe
./networking/devices/ifcfg-mycipe
./networking/profiles/default/ifcfg-mycipe
[root@oslo sysconfig]# 

Using it results in:

[root@oslo sysconfig]# /sbin/ifup mycipe
Missing config file ifcfg-cipcb0.
[root@oslo sysconfig]#
