And I have 4 different brands of NICs. Any combination in which I had 2 of them would stay the same until I upgraded the kernel. They would then switch ether postions. I finally swapped the cards in their slots and had no more trouble with them until I went to 7.2 and back to 7.1 (still using the same 2 NICs that were working fine for ages). I haven't gotten around to fixing it yet, but no hurry. My kludge works fine under all conditions. -- Sarcasm is just one of the many services we offer. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
