Hi list, I managed to install RC1, but after the installation my nics have the wrong order. At install time, I did a FTP install, the order was correct. At boot time the order _is_ correct, the kernel loads the modules in the right order and they are named correct. But if the network comes up SuSE reorders the nics! Where is this information stored? Any hints? Oh, and I want this to be added to the most anoying bugs! -- mdc

Define "wrong order". What is the first nic? Simply give each of them a PERSISTENT_NAME like "wlan" and "wired" or something like that. The kernel decides which nic gets which eth* name and that depends on pci bus ordering and modprobe ordering, among other things. Regards, Carl-Daniel

Hi list, ok I found something: /etc/sysconfig/network/config FORCE_PERSITENT_NAMES=no and it uses the kernel ordering. But...now I thought, well now the order is right, let's force this order, and changed FORCE_PERSITENT_NAMES back to yes.But after a reboot I end up with the wrong order again. Is there a chance to say what names I want to force? -- mdc

has been discussed here several times, check archives or google with 'site:suse.com' as one search term. AIR, you must provide names not used by the system. You cannot use eth0, eth1, etc -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2
