Could you give the name of that section, please? The adminguide in 9.1 only has 18 chapters, no 22.4 there.
Look for PERSISTANT_NAME (grep for it for example). It is in the section manual network configuration.
Ah, I was reading in that section precissely, it is 13.3. But the "persistant" word does not appear there, it must be a feature of 9.2, or it is not documented in 9.1. The trick here seems to name the file as "/etc/sysconfig/network/fcfg-eth-id-xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx", with the mac address. The file contains the token you mention: # You may set an interface name which is independant of the order of driver # loading. # Note, though, that the genuine names (e.g. eth*) cannot be used here. #PERSISTENT_NAME='en0' It seems that instead of using "eth0" the name "en0" has to be used. Is that the method documented in 9.2? -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
