[SOLVED] boot time issues with eth0

[twitch]

I have eth0 set to start at the deafult runlevel via rc-update. When booting everything appears normal, no failures, but when I login eth0 doesn't work. I have to run /etc/init.d/net.eth0 stop, then /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start. After that it works perfectly. Any thoughts on how to make it work without the extra commands after logging in?

I tried running route -n and arp -n and found that my settings for the local nic and the external nic were getting reversed. So I went into the /etc/initd/net.eth0 file and added
after net.eth1
on a line before the use line in the depend() function.

This solved my problems.
