Hi,
I have only one ethernet card (Broadcom netextreme bcm5703x) which uses the tg3 module/driver. I've enabled this module to be autoloaded. The problem is that this card shows up as eth1 instead of eth0, which it did before I emerged gnome-light. Here's the output of ifconfig -a
| Code: |
eth0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-E0-81-00-00-30-75-E9-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00

Also I cannot rc-update add net.eth1 default because there isn't any such file in the /etc/ini.d/net.eth1.
How can I solve this?
Many thanks

Could be a firewire device. Match the pci address in
| Code: | | ls /sys/class/net/eth0/device/driver/ |
with lspci to be sure.
