Thanks for the tip. Similar information is in the SuSE 9.2 Pro Admin Guide, I just didn't know I needed to look for udev. Using that, your link and http://www.reactivated.net/udevrules.php I got this straightened out. The man page for udev said files ending in .rules were loaded from /etc/udev/rules.d in alphabetical order. There was only one file ther, 50-udev.rules, so I created 49-udev.rules with
KERNEL="eth*", SYSFS{address}="00:06:5b:05:f2:8f", NAME="eth0" Then I shutdown networking with 'rcnetwork stop', unloaded the modules with 'rmmod e100 tg3', loaded 'em back up, started networking back up, and the NICs had the desired names.
Could you be using this too: file:/usr/share/doc/manual/suselinux-adminguide_en/html/ch22s04.html 22.4.6. Hotplug and PCMCIA Hotplug devices are no longer treated in a special way, because all devices are initialized by hotplug. Nevertheless, physical hotplug is characterized by some special aspects. When the system is booted, built-in devices are always initialized in the same order and receive the same interface names from the kernel. Interface names are assigned dynamically by the kernel. As soon as an interface is registered, it is assigned the next free name. Because hotplug devices can be inserted at random, they do not always receive the same interface names. Nevertheless, they are assigned the same configurations, because the configurations do not depend on the interface names. If you prefer persistent interface names, enter PERSISTENT_NAME=name in the respective interface configuration file (/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-*). This setting will be adopted the next time the card is initialized (inserted). -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless
