This is telling me that you have at one time or another had four different cards with the MAC addresses.

If you have only one remove, all of these references and reboot and things may settle down. (Make a backup copy of file just in case). If you have more than one network interface be a bit more careful and identify which card you want on which interface and edit accordingly.
This machine actually does have 4 ethernet interfaces. Two onboard and two pci. I only care about the two onboard and I do actually want eth3 to work, I just don't want it to be primary. The eth3 interface is just connected to a lab network and it won't even have a default gateway or anything.
The order of the numbering of the devices is really irrelevant has (as far as I know) no impact on the device priority, (it is how you define what gets delivered where that is a bit more critical). You can change the device names as you see fit by editing this file, provided each device name is unique (and you keep to the conventions, designating a network device as hda1 is probably not a good idea :-) ). Most things connect using the IP address of the interface, it is really only the network configuration tools which make use of device names. SuSE store device related IP info and other stuff in files of the form ifcfg-<type>-id-<MAC ADDRESS> in /etc/sysconfig/network ... type may be eth or wlan (dunno about other network device types) so the IP address component is effectively tied to the MAC address of the card. (BTW I would not recommend editing these outside of YaST unless you really know what you are doing). - -- ============================================================================== I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.
