Umm, no. It takes me longer than that to find the mac address on the interface in question.
if someone is too lazy/stupid to configure the network with a base-install why in the world does he do a base-install at all?
My machines usually have 6 interfaces or so, are set up in one location, then moved to the production location with the final configuration (including IP's) done by operators that are better at windows than linux. Sorry if that doesn't match your view of the way the world should work.

All things considered, I think Reinhald's reaction is somewhat understandable... ie preservation of the status quo "there's nothing wrong with the system, it's fine as it is, the problem is the user".
"Resistance to change" I think some call it... ;)
Anyway, I'll file a Request for Enhancement for RHEL if that's possible...

If I did it all 'hands-on' I might even agree. But this is something you need to be able to tell someone else how to do over the phone because until at least one interface comes up with correct routing in your remote location, you aren't going to be able to ssh in to do the rest.
