I am facing the same problem and I was not able to determine the reason.
But i solved this issue by copying the right file during autoyast stage2 from
autoyast.xml
<file>
<file_contents><![CDATA[STARTMODE='auto'
MODULE='qeth'
MODULE_OPTIONS=''
MODULE_UNLOAD='yes'
SCRIPTUP='hwup-ccw'
SCRIPTUP_ccw='hwup-ccw'
SCRIPTUP_ccwgroup='hwup-qeth'
SCRIPTDOWN='hwdown-ccw'
CCW_CHAN_IDS='0.0.a000 0.0.a001 0.0.a002'
CCW_CHAN_NUM='3'
CCW_CHAN_MODE=''
QETH_LAYER2_SUPPORT='1'
LCS_LANCMD_TIMEOUT=''
QETH_IPA_TAKEOVER='0'
QETH_OPTIONS=''
]]></file_contents>
<file_owner>root</file_owner>
<file_path>/etc/sysconfig/hardware/hwcfg-qeth-bus-ccw-0.0.a000</file_path>
<file_permissions>644</file_permissions>
</file>
I think the the whole layer2 thing is not well implemented in SLES10.
And i checked my SLES10 SP2 docs: OSAHWaddr in not mentioned.

Tobias
