In other languages: English (en) русский (ru) [edit]

Description

This test case makes sure that during Rawhide installation, network interfaces, both onboard and PCI add-in are named as per the new convention.

Setup

1. Make sure that the Hardware Requirements are met.

How to test

1. Switch to a shell by pressing Control+Alt+F2.
2. Verify that onboard network interfaces are named as described here
3. Verify that PCI add-in network interfaces are described here
4. When the network configuration wizard appears, configure em1 and any of the available add-in PCI interface.
5. Complete the installation process, after the system reboots, login to the system. Check if interface configuration file ifcfg-emN and ifcfg-pci<slot>#<port> files are created under /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts

Expected Results

1. Make sure that onboard device names are of the form emN during install time

   [root@fedora-14-r710 ~]# ls /sys/class/net/
   em1  em2  em3  em4  lo

2. Make sure that PCI add-in device names are of the form pci<slot>#<port> during install time

   #[root@fedora-14-r710 ~]# ls /sys/class/net/
   lo  pci3#1 pci3#2 pci4#1

3. Make sure ifcfg-emN and ifcfg-pci<slot>#<port> files are created under the dir /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts after the installation is complete.
