Hi all,
I'm sure some know the problem: Since SuSE recocnizes the NICs by MAC, they keep shifting around their ID's on slight config changes. I tried to check this problem by editing /etc/modprobe.conf like so:
<snip> # Aliases - specify your hardware ########################################################################
install eth0 /sbin/modprobe via-rhine install eth1 /sbin/modprobe dmfe install eth2 /sbin/modprobe ne2k-pci </snip>
However that does not order anything, I have dmfe on eth0, ne2k on eth1 and the onboard via-rhine on eth2. Hmmmm.... Anyone have an idea ?

Daniel
Check out the thread at http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux-e/2004-Dec/3110.html. Apparently the best you can hope for is persistent names that don't start with eth. Jason Joines =================================
