-Umm, well in my case eth0 is connected to the system's default gateway! eth1 gets process last, so no hope ?! -Also, ifcfg-eth1 wins the default route over /etc/sysconfig/network! For some reason!
If there's no proper way to do this, is there at least a way to execute some 'advanced' commands whenever a network starts ?
