Actually, The order that the Ethernet Cards are _usually_ detected in a system is based on how the PCI bus is enumerated. With some motherboards, the enumeration goes from the power supply to the bottom and with others, it is just the reverse. However, I have seen that using some different network cards this philosophy gets changed. ============================================ Drew J.

All,
On one of my servers, I have a 10/100 network card and a 1000 (Gigabit) network card. Currently, the 10/100 is eth0 and the 1000 is eth1.
Without messing with the kernel, is there a way to swap these so that the 1000 card is eth0?
Thanks :-)

-------------------------------- I thought the Mac address of the ethernet card dictated the way in which they were detected? If that's the case, wouldn't you have to change something there to change eth0 & eth1?
