Using Debian command mode 2.6 kernel.
My NIC keeps jumping around between eth0 and eth1 every so often when I
reboot. It is real annoying! How do I get it to stick to be the same all the
time? It is conflicting with a firewire controller...

Description: Rename network interfaces based on various static criteria
Ifrename allow the user to decide what name a network interface will have.
Ifrename can use a variety of selectors to specify how interface names
match
the network interfaces on the system, the most common selector is the
interface MAC address.
But I *think* you cannot use eth* anymore. I think you have to rename
it since, switching doesn't seem to work very well. (Or I did not know
how to do it properly.) I'm using lan* instead an works great! (Just
careful with the new name in the firewall.)
HTH,
Luis
