We have 2 qeth network devices defined in our development Linux guest
machines.

drwxr-xr-x 6 root root    0 Jun  5 16:11 0.0.0600
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root    0 Jun  5 16:11 0.0.0700

0600 comes up as eth0
0700 comes up as eth1 

The reason for such a setup was to be able to SSH into the guest Linux
instance via IP configured on eth0 interface while we experimented with
various network configurations on eth1. We now have completed our
development/testing and would like to remove qeth device 0.0.0600 from
the Linux guest devices definitions and so that qeth device 0.0.0700
come up as eth0 network interface instead of eth1.  Is there a way to
delete the network device definitions and subdirs created on sysfs for
0.0.0600. 


Thank you,
Ashwin

Sounds just like RH kickstart :-)
