 Posted: Tue Nov 21, 2006 5:46 pm Post subject: Network Modules mess with 2.6.18 |
 |
|
Hi,
I manage a remote system and recently emerge'd and genkernel'd the 2.6.18.
The problem that I noticed is that my 2 network cards are detected in the wrong order (e100 used to be eth0 and e1000 - eth1).
I have in modules.d/aliases:
| Code: |
alias eth0 e100
alias eth1 e1000
|
I verified that /etc/modules.conf and /etc/modprobe.conf have those two lines after running modules-update.
I also have in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6:
It seems to me that the new kernel modules autoloader loads all the modules it can find for some reason.
(I also have a raid0 array but the kernel module for raid1 is also compiled and I noticed in /proc/mdstat that it was loaded. There is only a line for raid0 in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6)
Thanks

The only way to get the assignments you want are by writing udev rules.
There's a very good step-by-step howto by peenie here

Thanks a lot, I followed the thread and a couple of udev rules fixed it for me. For others that may have the same problem:
| Code: |
KERNEL="eth*", SYSFS{address}=="00:11:22:33:44:55", NAME="eth0"
KERNEL="eth*", SYSFS{address}=="00:11:22:33:44:56", NAME="eth1"
|
where 00:11:22:33:44:55 and 00:11:22:33:44:56 are the MAC addresses of the network cards.
Note that those threads recommend renaming the cards to something else, like "wlan" and "lan" because if you add another network card it will mess up the above rules. In my case, I know I will not do that and I'm too lazy to modify /etc/conf.d/net and do rc-update etc.

| Just to mention that SYSFS{address} is case-sensitive, and it uses lowercase letters for the A,B,..F |
