The hardware is configured using files in /etc/sysconfig/hardware. Therre should be a hwcfg-qeth-bus-ccw-0.0.a001 file in there. If one isn't there, then copy the file /etc/sysconfig/hardware/skel/hwcfg-qeth to /etc/sysconfig/hardware/hwcfg-qeth-bus-ccw-0.0.a001 and then edit that file. You're going to at least need to update the hardware addresses in there (CCW_CHAN_IDS line) and maybe some of the options. Then use the hwup command (hwup hwcfg-qeth-bus-ccw-0.0.a001) to activate it.
I'm hoping that a redbook I worked on that has this kind of information in the "network" chapter will be coming out soon. Hopefully it would help answer these questions for SLES 9 and RHEL 4 (and the 2.6 kernel in general.)
