hi list. i have a IBM rs/6000 Type 7248-133 with suse linux 7.1 ppc running on it. the mainboard contains a onboard NIC type AMD pc Lane. i dont want to use this NIC and intend to turn it off. i dont own the system managment disk so i cant deactivate the interface. here is my problem: i bought a (pci)hub network interface card with rtl 8029 chipset. i want to run this card as eth0. but every time a laod a driver for this card the onboard card uses this driver, and i have to load a second driver for the hub card. now it becomes automatically eth1. i am a linux newbie and dont know how to deactivate the onboard interface or switch the devices so that the onboard interface becomes eth1 and the additional pci card becomes eth0 thank u cu __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
