These hwcfg-static are not needed any longer.
Peter, would you please remove that from the update script.

Tim, have a look in /etc/udev/rules.d/30-net*. There are autogenerated rules for
the interface names. You can now change the names if you like it the other way
round.
Comment 2 Peter Poeml 2005-08-31 16:02:39 UTC 
Okay, I will change the update script so that it doesn't create
hwcfg-static files any longer.

Is this relevant for 10.0? How severe is it?
Comment 3 Christian Zoz 2005-09-01 12:08:50 UTC 
It is no more necessary. But it does not harm much, beside one config file to much.
Comment 4 Peter Poeml 2005-09-02 12:40:28 UTC 
Okay, then I will reduce severity to minor, and won't touch the update
handling before 10.0 is done because it is late in the game.
Comment 5 Peter Poeml 2006-05-09 07:14:12 UTC 
Grr, I missed this bug because I set it to LATER. Reopening for 10.2.
Comment 6 Peter Poeml 2006-12-20 11:04:46 UTC 
Fixed in svn (r1534).
