Setting up SuSE 6.1 for a cable modem (multiple interfaces)

[gaf at gaf.ne.mediaone.net (Jerry Feldman)]

As promised, here are the settings that I used. Also note that this works when
your dhclient device is the _0 device since that is hard coded in
sbin/init.d/dhclient.
  /etc/rc.config. Note that netconfig specifies
interface 1 only. I placed bogus parameters in IPADDR_0 and IFCONFIG_0
(dhclient sets the correct address). #
# number of network cards: "_0" for one, "_0 _1 _2 _3" for four cards
#
NETCONFIG="_1"
#
# IP Adresses
#
IPADDR_0="192.168.0.6"
IPADDR_1="192.168.0.1"
#
# network device names (e.g. "eth0")
#
NETDEV_0="eth0"
NETDEV_1="eth1"
#
# parameteres for ifconfig, if you put "bootp" into it, bootp will
# be used to configure it
# sample entry for ethernet:
# IFCONFIG_0="192.168.81.38 broadcast 192.168.81.63 netmask 255.255.255.224"
#
IFCONFIG_0="192.168.0.6 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0"
IFCONFIG_1="192.168.0.1 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0"
CREATE_RESOLVCONF=yes
DHCLIENT="yes"
---------------------
The other change is in /sbin/init.d/network. This will allow network to start
devices listed in NETCONFIG. 
Comment out the following line:
#test -n "$DHCLIENT"  -a "$DHCLIENT" = "yes" && exit 0

No other changes. I don't know why it did not work when I initially installed
6.1
