Hi: Does anybody have any ideas on what does the process (in SuSE 7.3) eth0 has to do??? Does it bring up the nics?? Thanks!! Raul
eth0 is the nic. It's the name for the device. It's not a process. :) * Raúl Gutiérrez Segalés (oxford@campoalto.edu.py) [020101 16:34]: -> ->Hi: -> ->Does anybody have any ideas on what does the process (in SuSE 7.3) eth0 ->has to do???

The 8139too driver creates a kernel thread named after the netdevice. As far as I can see it is the only NIC driver that works with kernel threads. At least, a grep for "kernel_thread" didn't produce any other hits. //Anders
