Actually, something like this may have happened to me also. I just ended up switching the cables for the cards. However, later I found a way to configure interfaces by mac address, rather than by name in /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples/network-interfaces.gz . See the file for the full example: # Two ethernet interfaces, one connected to a trusted LAN, the other to # the untrusted Internet, identified by MAC address rather than interface # name: Of course this doesn't fix any programs that rely on interface name.
