I have a box with 2 NICs in it. SuSE 9.2 Pro.
One Realtek that starts up as eth0, and a Broadcom that starts up as eth1. So far, so good.
But suddenly after a reboot, they've changed places? The Realtek is then eth1 and the Broadcom is eth0.
A couple of reboots later, they've changed places again! How can I control this? I need static naming since I have apps that depends on the correct name/network.
look for PERSISTANT_NAME in the suse docu.
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. Anders.
