Re: [opensuse] RC1 reordering nics

Hi, meister@netz00.com schrieb:

I managed to install RC1, but after the installation my nics have the wrong order. At install time, I did a FTP install, the order was correct. At boot time the order _is_ correct, the kernel loads the modules in the right order and they are named correct. But if the network comes up SuSE reorders the nics! Where is this information stored? Any hints? Oh, and I want this to be added to the most anoying bugs!

Define "wrong order". What is the first nic? Simply give each of them a PERSISTENT_NAME like "wlan" and "wired" or something like that. The kernel decides which nic gets which eth* name and that depends on pci bus ordering and modprobe ordering, among other things. Regards, Carl-Daniel
