hwcfg-eth0 not needed
Last modified: 2006-09-28 13:25:04 UTC
Problem: NIS install on G4 failed, because no network is loaded. Although in network configuration dialog both eth-cards are set to dhcp. In the NIS dialog check the option retrieve via dhcp. And the error rises ypbind could not start. There are 2 network cards, eth0 is unplugged and eth1 is plugged. IMHO, the file /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0 conflicts with the udev rule in /etc/udev/rules.d/30-net_persistent_names.rules.

Hwinfo tells yast neither the MAC nor the bus position of the BMAC NIC. So yast uses just eth as the configuration identifier. The bmac module was loaded so I rule out the case that a missing module causes missing information. y2log:2236: 2005-09-08 13:42:23 <1> linux(5435) [YCP] Lan.ycp:1208 Hardware=[$["active":true, "bus":"pci", "busid":"0000:01:04.0", "drivers": [$["active":true, "modprobe":true, "modules":[["tulip", ""]]]], "link":nil, "mac":"00:a0:cc:54:08:a0", "module":"tulip", "name":"Netgear FA310TX", "num":0, "options":"", "requires":[], "type":"eth", "unique":"vQLu.27Dwad8y0MC", "wl_auth_modes":nil, "wl_bitrates":nil, "wl_channels":nil, "wl_enc_modes":nil], $["active":true, "bus":"none", "busid":"", "drivers":[$["active":true, "modprobe":true, "modules":[["bmac", ""]]]], "link":nil, "mac":"", "module":"bmac", "name":"Apple BMAC+ Ethernet Controller", "num":1, "options":"", "requires":[], "type":"eth", "unique":"AGj9.fV1ejj+LieA", "wl_auth_modes":nil, "wl_bitrates":nil, "wl_channels":nil, "wl_enc_modes":nil]] Patrick what does hwinfo --netcard say? If it doesn't provide the data either, Steffen should fix it.
I need the result of 'getsysinfo' in that case.

Steffen, hwinfo does not provide the MAC.
