Hi all,
i need your help to solve a configuration issue.
I got a server with two ethernet card: a realtek based chip network card, and a QUAD network card based on starfire driver (this is a strange card with four RJ45 plug like four ethernet in one).
Gentoo releaved both card perfectly, and list me all the interfaces: eth0, eth1, eth2, eth3 and eth4.
But the realtek netcard is eth4 and for my needs, i want to change in eth0, but i don't know the way...
Do you know a tricks for this?!
Thanks in advanced!

P.S: Sorry for my english, but is is the problem clear?

Thank you Genone for you quickly reply and for yours hort and precious help 
i solved in this way. I guess is quite elegant...
i created a file in /etc/init.d/with this lines:
| Code: |
depend() {
need checkroot
}
start() {
local retval=0
ebegin "Setting ethernet name order"
/sbin/nameif -c /etc/mactab
/sbin/nameif -c /etc/mactable
retval=$?
eend ${retval} "Failed to set ethernet order"
return ${retval}
}
|
And i put it on boot phase with rc-update command.
The two lines of nameid is needed because in one file i temporany change the name of all ethernet card and in the second i choose the right order.
