vi was available tought. But: tried it. Doesn't work. I have now:
DEVICE="p3p1"
TYPE=Ethernet
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
HWADDR=""
ONBOOT="yes"
USERCTL="no"
NM_CONTROLLED="no"

After booting:
root at tola ~# ifconfig
lo  Link encap:Local loopback
    ...

No interface p3p1.

I tried with "HWADDR" set to the devices HWAddr as with the whole
thing removed. No success. Network does only come up after login and
typing "ifup p3p1".
