Probably because the expectation is that during the installation process, a working NIC configuration is created, so no command line tool is required. The chccwdev command is there because IBM wrote it. I don't know if it was as a result of a demand from Novell or Red Hat or not, to make scripting some things easier. There hasn't been a similar tool for network interfaces because IBM hasn't written one, and apparently no one has asked for this before. > Using Yast is very difficult, when > the network stack is not working as it does not work on the 3270 screen.
