Hi,

With SUSE 10.0 I experienced a strange problem I never saw before. I installed the system with a network card, then after few month I replaced the card with another one. Interesting enough the first card had eth0, but the new one (inserted into the same slot) is eth1 now. So probably the system thinks that should keep the settings for the previous card as well. It will never need it, because I don't plan to put back the first card, but how I could tell SUSE 10.0 to use rather eth0 for the present card?!

Thank you, Pelibali

Use YAST to configure the new card and delete the old card.

Does not work .. I have exactly the same problem eth0 now insists on being eth1 it's a cracker (pain in the butt) Pete . -- The Labour party has changed there emblem from a rose to a condom as it more accuratley reflects the governments political stance.

... Look at /etc/udev/rules.d/30-net_persistent_names.rules

Thank you, the above file was the culprit! I went there and found two lines, corresponding to eth0 (previous card, identified by its MAC) and eth1 (pre- sent card). So I deleted the eth0 line and made eth1 >> eth0. After restarting everything is OK now. Thanks again & have a nice weekend, Pelibali

See the thread from 1/23/06 eth0 now eth1 WTF? Network woes....The saga....[Long] The problem is most likely in /etc/udev/rules.d/30-net_persistent_names.rules. # This rules are autogenerated from /sbin/rename_netiface. But you can modify # them, but make sure that you don't use an interface name twice. Also add such # interface name rules only in this rules file. Otherwise rename_netiface will # create wrong rules for new interfaces. # It is safe to delete a rule, as long as you did not disable automatic rule # generation. Only if all interfaces get a rule the renaming will work # flawlessly. See also /etc/udev/rules.d/31-net_create_names.rules. # # Read /usr/share/doc/packages/sysconfig/README.Persistent_Interface_Names for # further information. # # Use only a-z, A-Z and 0-9 for interface names! # SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", SYSFS{address}=="00:4c:69:6e:75:79", IMPORT="/sbin/rename_netiface %k eth0" SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", SYSFS{address}=="00:04:5a:87:c8:43", IMPORT="/sbin/rename_netiface %k eth1" You need to delete the line with your old NIC's MAC and then change eth1 to eth0 for the new NIC and I bet your problem is solved. Don't forget rcnetwork restart, or if that doesn't work, reboot... -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.
