Thanks, that could possibly help. Need to check if the pci-id is the same for both cases.
Nevertheless I had hopend for a more general mechanism for renaming to be available. Like: rename anything matching "eth*" to "eth0".
Since I definitely know there is only one network device present this would be exactly what I need.
If there is only one interface, it will be named eth0 by default (if you disable new persistent interface names of course). If you get something else it implies you have more than one interface. I wonder what the actual problem here is.
This would be reasonable, but unfortunately it is not true in general. My Development machine e.g. has only one network device but the kernel names it eth1, not eth0: 19: PCI 19.0: 0200 Ethernet controller [Created at pci.319] Unique ID: JNkJ.qqbXdPh0W+4 SysFS ID: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:19.0 SysFS BusID: 0000:00:19.0 Hardware Class: network Model: "Intel 82578DM Gigabit Network Connection" Vendor: pci 0x8086 "Intel Corporation" Device: pci 0x10ef "82578DM Gigabit Network Connection" SubVendor: pci 0x1028 "Dell" SubDevice: pci 0x02da Revision: 0x05 Driver: "e1000e" Driver Modules: "e1000e" Device File: eth1 Memory Range: 0xf7fe0000-0xf7ffffff (rw,non-prefetchable) Memory Range: 0xf7fdc000-0xf7fdcfff (rw,non-prefetchable) I/O Ports: 0xecc0-0xecdf (rw) IRQ: 47 (17143463 events) HW Address: 84:2b:2b:9a:b4:35 Link detected: yes Module Alias: "pci:v00008086d000010EFsv00001028sd000002DAbc02sc00i00" Driver Info #0: Driver Status: e1000e is active Driver Activation Cmd: "modprobe e1000e" Config Status: cfg=no, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown Tschuess, Thomas Fehr -- Thomas Fehr, SuSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nuernberg, Germany GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Tel: +49-911-74053-0, Fax: +49-911-74053-482, Email: fehr@suse.de GPG public key available. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: yast-devel+owner@opensuse.org
