Other question: which problems do you have caused by wicked and where
do you come in contact with it?
Up to now, I haven't seen any report here which where caused by
wicked.

Making sure that your network interfaces will be setup and configured
with an IP address.
Which was done by a lot of shell scripts in SLES11 before.

Which problems?
I only know about the interface renaming discussions, but this has
nothing to do with wicked.

Do you had any issues in this regard with Beta1 - Beta3?
Your interfaces are still the same as with SLES11: YaST2 and
the config files in /etc/sysconfig/network.

I have the feeling you are mixing up several things which
are not connected.
