RHEL has an error where if you use system-config-network on a layer 2
interface it "forgets" that it was layer 2. Reported a year ago as Bug
809534 - system-config-network ignores option field. No fix.
Did you use system-config-network?

This line, and the line 2 down is interesting. It looks like the NIC is trying
to be both Layer 3 and
Layer 2. Which is it _supposed_ to be?
I believe it's supposed to be Layer 2; connects to a vswitch.
qdio: 0.0.7002 HS on SC 2 using AI:1 QEBSM:1 PCI:0 TDD:1 SIGA:RW AO

What all does the ifcfg-eth0 file have in it?
[root@myPenguin ~]# cat ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=none
DNS1=10.1.4.73
DOMAIN=ourshop.com
GATEWAY=10.1.1.1
IPADDR=10.1.1.36
MTU=1500
NETMASK=255.255.255.192
NETTYPE=qeth
NM_CONTROLLED=yes
ONBOOT=yes
PORTNAME="DONTCARE"
SUBCHANNELS="0.0.0600,0.0.0601,0.0.0602"
TYPE=Ethernet
UUID="646a685e-75d1-4ef4-bc5e-7482b66a7981"
IPV6INIT=no
USERCTL=no
[root@myPenguin ~]#
Now, what's missing from this file that is present in the same file on our
"golden" image is the statement:
OPTIONS="layer2=0 portno=0"
I don't know why that statement is missing, unless our "network guy" deleted it
from the penguin that doesn't talk while he was trying to figure out Hipersockets.
I also notice the "golden" copy has BOOTPROTO="static" instead of "none".
I'll set both back to "golden" and see what happens.
