Right, I understand that part. However I believe I'm now in the realm of making this specific to this machine as I have no guarantee that another identical machine will pop up with those same bus IDs. Maybe for the internal ports, but I don't know if the same will happen for the PCIe bus. Would tha

Actually, I know what the MAC is for the builtin Port1 and 2. Those are listed in the BIOS. But ultimately I don't want to rely on them as I want the same kickstart file to work for other machines, so hardcoding those in the kickstart file wouldn't quite work, unless I start writing multiple kickst

When I was working on this last time (with the r8169 driver), someone on this list provided the following script which is what "fixed" the issue at the time by creating a new 70-persistent-net.rules file with the devices enumerated in order. However, this no longer works now. echo "[KICKSTART] Bin

Have you tried having kickstart set up a more appropriate /etc/udev/rules/70-persistent-net.rules? This is normally written by /lib/udev/write_net_rules. You should be able to modify the automatically generated one to match what you need. K ___ CentOS m

So I'm back to this problem. A quick run down of what the original problem was: I have a machine that I'm configuring to use kickstart to setup. It has two builtin ethernet ports (labeled ports 1 and 2) and I'm adding a third one on its PCIe bus. Originally I was using an r8169 clone a default kic
