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 ?
You can't use eth style names as PERSISTENT. Call them 'internal' and 'external', or 'mutt' and 'jeff', but don't use eth0 and eth1. Then you can use the names you give them in your rules and the system will understand them. They will *still* be called eth0 and eth1 as well, but you won't have to care
