I don't think you can influence the process.
I believe ethernet cards are autodetected in the order onboard > isa > pci. However, you could probably change the order of pci ethernet cards by switching slots. They're detected on boot from top to bottom, top being the closest pci slot to the agp slot. I don't know if this true for isa cards, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was. Also, if you're using a modular kernel it might be possible to assign numbers in the order you want by playing with the values in your /etc/modules.conf. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
