2. the initial problem: Just recently, out of the blue, the eth device order decided to change, i.e., device 1 is now eth1 and device 2 is now eth0 where they were previously coming up the other way. This foiled my dhcpd server which was tied to eth1. After googling a bit I found that with kernel 2.6.x the devices were now called eth-id-MAC whith the proper MAC addresses in order to positively identify them and that aliases introduced in modprobe.conf wouldn't really make any sense anymore or would tend to be irrelevant (see for example: http://support.novell.com/cgi-bin/search/searchtid.cgi?/en/2004/05/91_sysco nfig.html ). So, I decided that the way to go would be to tie dhcpd to eth-id-MAC_of_device_2 rather than eth1 which it had been set before. However, this makes dhcpd fail with the following error message in the logs:
