Hello, in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules you can identify your NIC with the pci id Number change this ATTR{address}=="MAC Addr" to this ID=="<PCI BUS Addr>" Dirk Lohmann -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Sebastian Wenner [mailto:sebastian.wenner@web.de] Gesendet: Montag, 28.

We have several multi-nic machines where we run into trouble with "normal" interface names. They have e.g. 4 onboard nics, powered by the bnx2 driver and an additional quad-port card powered by the e1000 driver. If the e1000 gets loaded before the bnx2, the first onboard (which is our usual link into the install network) comes up as eth4 instead of eth0. Identifying the adapter by its mac address would do a great job to avoid this confusion... Is there a way of specifying this in the autoyast file and at the boot prompt?
