Hello, I'm trying to use Shorewall on a Suse 9.2 box, with 2 Ethernet device. I must precise the device name, but eth0 and eth1 is swapping. Reading the mailing-list, i saw the option PERSISTENT_NAME for my ifcfg-XXX files. When I tried ti set en0 and en1 to name my ethernet card, my cards still be named eth0 and eth1 allocated in a random order. Someone can explain me where is my error ? chibilchin:/etc/sysconfig/network # cat "ifcfg-eth-bus-pci-0000:02:01.0" BOOTPROTO='static' BROADCAST='147.210.1.255' IPADDR='147.210.1.1' MTU='' NETMASK='255.255.255.0' NETWORK='147.210.1.0' REMOTE_IPADDR='' STARTMODE='auto' UNIQUE='GA8e.+sm7363IdX9' USERCONTROL='no' IPADDR_='147.210.1.2' NETMASK_='255.255.255.0' LABEL_='' _nm_name='bus-pci-0000:02:01.0' IPADDR__='147.210.1.2' LABEL__='' NETMASK__='255.255.255.0' PERSISTENT_NAME='en0' chibilchin:/etc/sysconfig/network # cat ifcfg-eth-bus-pci-0000:03:0d.0 BOOTPROTO='static' BROADCAST='192.168.1.255' IPADDR='192.168.1.2' MTU='' NETMASK='255.255.255.0' NETWORK='192.168.1.0' REMOTE_IPADDR='' STARTMODE='onboot' UNIQUE='sLwP.yCFQUtrdkU6' USERCONTROL='no' _nm_name='bus-pci-0000:03:0d.0' PERSISTENT_NAME='en1' Thanks, Aldrik
