Using two network devices during installation

[IECISA.Ortega Gonzalez, Carlos]

Hi.

I've found a suitable solution:

First of all, I leave only one network --bootproto... entry in the ks.cfg
file. In this entry, I have removed the --device option. This way, the
system ask which interface should be used for the installation. This works
even in different machines, as you manually select the interface.

And, in the %post section of the ks.cfg file, I've added a script that
checks the /etc/modules.conf file, and makes sure that the alias are
properly set (changing the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX files
when necessary).

Thanks for your help.

When you got 2 differents kernel modules for your 2 network devices, lets
say 
e100 and 3c59x , the naming of the network devices is in /etc/modules.conf :

alias eth0 e100
alias eth1 3c59x

will set your intel card on eth0 and your 3com card on eth1
