RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Bill Nottingham 2010-05-13 21:08:40 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #589521 +++

Description of problem:

Bringing up loopback interface:                            [  OK  ]
Bringing up interface Auto_kiilerich:  
Determining IP information for ... done.
cat: /sys/class/net//ifindex: No such file or directory
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-eth: line 286: 1000 + : syntax error: operand expected (error token is "+ ")
Missing config file ifcfg-ifcfg-Auto_kiilerich.
                                                           [  OK  ]


Same setup and config as in bug 545597 where REALDEVICE also isn't set:

# head /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/{ifcfg,keys}-*
==> /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-Auto_kiilerich <==
ESSID="kiilerich"
MODE=Managed
KEY_MGMT=WPA-PSK
TYPE=Wireless
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
PEERDNS=yes
PEERROUTES=yes
NAME="Auto kiilerich"
UUID=1b6ba851-d2a0-402d-92ee-3bf4e0e45592
ONBOOT=yes

==> /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-lo <==
DEVICE=lo
IPADDR=127.0.0.1
NETMASK=255.0.0.0
NETWORK=127.0.0.0
# If you're having problems with gated making 127.0.0.0/8 a martian,
# you can change this to something else (255.255.255.255, for example)
BROADCAST=127.255.255.255
ONBOOT=yes
NAME=loopback

==> /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/keys-Auto_kiilerich <==
WPA_PSK="zecret"

==> /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/keys-eth1 <==
KEY=s:1123581321

==> /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/keys-Wireless_connection_1 <==
WPA_PSK=alsosecret!


The missing ifcfg-ifcfg-Auto_kiilerich seems like an error too ... or perhaps the same ...
