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]#
