It's not doublespeak, the interfaces are named exactly according to where they are on the PCI bus. If you had two interfaces, they show up to the kernel in random order by time and sometimes eth0/eth1 are nto the same they were before the reboot. You are just looking at this from the wrong point of view. -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
