 |
|
Hello--
This is probably an easy question. I thought that network cards were assigned eth0, etc. according to the order their drivers appear in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6. However, this doesn't seem to be the case for me. Here it is:
| Code: |
[w:~]$ cat /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6
# /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6: kernel modules to load when system boots.
e100
8139too
|
e100 is the onboard network card which should be eth0, and 8139too is the one I want to be eth1. I've been monkeying around with NFS, and one reboot they just switched. Yes, the cables are set up properly.
Thanks,
Erick

From /etc/conf.d/net.example: | Code: | ##############################################################################
# OPTIONAL MODULES
# INTERFACE RENAMING
# There is no consistent device renaming scheme for Linux.
# The preferred way of naming devices is via the kernel module directly or
# by using udev (http://www.reactivated.net/udevrules.php)
# If you are unable to write udev rules, then we do provide a way of renaming
# the interface based on it's MAC address, but it is not optimal.
# Here is how to rename an interface whose MAC address is 00:11:22:33:44:55
# to foo1
#rename_001122334455="foo1"
# You can also do this based on current device name - although this is not
# recommended. Here we rename eth1 to foo2.
#rename_eth1="foo2" |
runas root to get the mac address. As it says, you can also do this with udev. I'd be buggered if I could tell you how, though. |

| I have noticed wiredness with this as well it happend to be the new udev doing interesting things. I solved the issue by editing the /etc/udev/rules.d/10-lirc.rules file. See the post https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-523205-highlight-.html for full details. |
