SUSE Recommended Update: Recommended update for yast2-network
This collective update for YaST's network configuration
module (yast2-network) provides the following fixes:
* Allow auto-enabling of all interfaces only during
installation (bnc#782283)
* Let curl follow redirects when downloading release
notes package (bnc#781330)
* When changing the system's host name, update Postfix
configuration too (bnc#778665).
Additionally, improvements and fixes to bonding and
bridging support were implemented in YaPI, the API used by
WebYaST (FATE#313209):
* Write: default BOOTPROTO to 'static', allow omitting
IPADDR
* Allow manipulating STARTMODE, don't assume 'auto'
* Handle ETHERDEVICE and VLAN_ID
* Make MTU configurable using YaPI
* YaPI (re)Read: Don't append a slash to ipaddr like
'1.2.3.4/8/'.
