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.)
