[Fedora-livecd-list] eth0 and eth1 in kickstart

[Elias Hunt]

Tim,

We use two network interfaces here and theoretically can handle one
static, one dhcp though I haven't tested such a scenario. I have tested
either type separately for one interface, and certainly static for two
interfaces. In our environment we had to remove NetworkManager to get
things to work, but do have dhclient installed to handle dhcp. This is
all under F7, but I would guess mostly is applicable to F8.

Hope this helps some.
-Eli

In my livecd-creator kickstart, I'm trying variants to do one dhcp and 
one static eth:

network --bootproto=dhcp --device=eth0 --onboot=on
network --bootproto=static --device=eth1 --onboot=on --ip=[ snip ]

When I check ifconfig, I have eth1 with dhcp and eth0 without an ip.  
When I go through Network Device Control (gui), I see eth0, eth1, 
eth0.bak and eth1.bak with my static dumped in one weird place and my 
dhcp in another.  Headache time...

When I googled around I didn't find much useful besides a grumpy post 
that indicates there are problems with Network Manager under f8.  
Heavily snipped down version:

Fedora's implementation of Network Manager ... will (not) allow you to 
set your system to a fixed IP address - only DHCP assigned addresses 
work. ... take a look at 
http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=172205&highlight=netwo
rkmanager

Is anybody on the list using eth0 and eth1 in a kickstart file or have 
an idea how to make such a setup work.
