Hi,

I'm using SUSE Linux 10.1. The system build went properly with 2 ethernet cards setup/mapped as (3C905A --> eth0) and (3C905B --> eth1). Running ifconfig properly shows eth0 and eth1 as up and active.

After a few hours the 3C905B (eth1) failed and I had to replace it with a 3C905C. After running YAST and setting up the new card - it got activated as eth2. What happened to eth1? Is there any config setting or file that I can edit so that the new card uses eth1? This was no problem and easy to set up in SLES-8. Appreciate any light that can be shed on this issue. Thanks and regards. Otto Rodusek.
