Is it my imagination, or is it the purpose of all these changes to make administration more difficult? I have also been running Linux for several years and never had a problem with NIC ID, at least with up to 3 NICs. In my experience, the ID depends on the slot the NIC is plugged into. According to the above, changing a NIC will require editing a file, to ensure the same ID is used.
Further on this. The computer with 3 NICs is my firewall. It has a built in NIC and I added 2 more NICs. As originally configured with the 3 NICs., the plug in NICs were eth 0 & 1 and the built in one eth2. I later removed eth1, because it was failing. But doing that did not cause the other NIC IDs to change. I now have eth0 and eth2, with no eth1 in the computer at all. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
