I am currently in a Linux class in college. We are supposed to manually configure our network connection. I am using OpenSuse 12.1 and we are supposed to note our current config and then delete it and reconfig it manually(without Yast). I have already noted my current ip address as well as my default gateway and subnet mask. My book is telling me to look in /etc/sysconfig/hardware to note the hwcfg-id-PCI file but there is no hardware directory within sysconfig. Later on it asks us to locate the network directory within sysconfig, it is there. But no hardware. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Check a SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) box. My SLES 11 and SLES 10
systems have that ‘hardware’ directory. Download it from
download.novell.com or download.suse.com as I recall.
Good luck.

In openSUSE this hardware directory is obsoleted for a long time have a
look at
/usr/share/doc/packages/sysconfig/README.hwcfg_and_device_initialisation
otherwise I would also recommend that for your linux class the idea from
ab to use a SLES evaluation copy is a very good idea (you can run it in
a virtual machine).

I doubt very much that your book is current on how 12.1 does things.

Thank you all for your help. To clarify things a bit, our book is on SLES9 but we were unable to configure SLES on virtualbox due to the fact that SLES needs SCSI drives. So our teacher had us download openSUSE instead. I did some research and discovered that if I setup a SCSI controller in virtualbox it worked just fine. And as you stated the file was there and all is good. Thanks again
