All, On one of my servers, I have a 10/100 network card and a 1000 (Gigabit) network card. Currently, the 10/100 is eth0 and the 1000 is eth1. Without messing with the kernel, is there a way to swap these so that the 1000 card is eth0? Thanks :-) ============================================ Drew J.

Yes... just change the driver load order. Edit /etc/modules.conf and reverse eth0/eth1. then run "depmod -a" and reboot - herman On Wed, 20 Nov 2002, Drew J.

-------------------------------- I thought the Mac address of the ethernet card dictated the way in which they were detected? If that's the case, wouldn't you have to change something there to change eth0 & eth1? Patrick --- KMail v1.4.3 --- SuSE Linux Pro v8.1 --- Registered Linux User #225206
Actually, The order that the Ethernet Cards are _usually_ detected in a system is based on how the PCI bus is enumerated. With some motherboards, the enumeration goes from the power supply to the bottom and with others, it is just the reverse. However, I have seen that using some different network cards this philosophy gets changed. ============================================ Drew J.

I make no guarantees, but back with 6.4, if they take different modules, you could put them in the initrd, and it would load the first module first, and it would be eth0 no matter what any settings were otherwise set. You could try that, putting the module for the 1000 in the initrd (/etc/sysconfig/kernel), or both making sure the 1000 is listed first.
