I found PERSISTENT_NAME, and as I understand, I should add a line in the /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth-id-...... files to control the device name. So, of course I tried, but the names after reboot was just the opposite of what I had entered.

Related to this; if one configures the 2 nics with yast , the latter insist (in my case at least) on having a hostname, name server, domain, etc for both nics (this is with 2 fixed ip addresses).
Isn't that strange? Should the name for the nics not be different for each one. For eth0 e.g. linux and for the other nic (eth1) e.g.; linux-eth1?
And wouldn't it be sufficient if one of the nics carried the name server(s), search domain and domain instead of having both cards carry that information?
Richard, The NIC's could be on totally different networks.. :) Like in my case. That's why it's so important that eth0 stays as eth0 since it's called on from softwares. Anders.
