Duplicated network interfaces
-----------------------------

The current version of systemd uses a different convention to name the
network interfaces. You can learn more here:

http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames/

This feature need some changes in YaST. There are some reports that
indicate a bug in YaST when there is a conversion from one naming
scheme to another. If you see that the same network interface have two
different names, you have been hit by this bug. One possible solution
is remove the different network interfaces in /etc/sysconfig/network
and use again YaST to configure the net.

My proposal:

   <title>Duplicated Network Interfaces</title>
   <para>
    The current version of systemd uses a new convention for assigning
    predictable names to network interfaces.  YaST is changed
    accordingly.
   </para>
   <para>
    Some reports indicate a bug in YaST when conversion from one naming
    scheme to another takes place. If the same network interface has two
    different names, you have been hit by this bug. In this case remove
    the different network interfaces in
    <filename>/etc/sysconfig/network</filename> and use YaST to
    configure the network anew.
