I'm expressing my ignorance now. I thought that the startup scripts that read config files and construct the ifconfig commands were provided by the distro and are not part of Linux, per se. If that's the case, then IBM would not document the existence or format of those files. And the generic Device Drivers manual says that the udev rules are distro-specific. So are you saying that the network config files of the SLES 10 era replaced by new udev rules in SLES 11? And that, unlike days of yore, you use some new utility or YaST to manipulate the udev rules?
