Thanks for pointing that out. I have been trying to use the order in
/etc/modules to keep track of my network cards, but that doesn't work
any longer in unstable. 

There are some more detailed instructions for writing these rules (and
finding out the SYSFS address) here:

i found in the martin f krafft debian system book:

(i havent tried it though, so i cant comment if it works or not)

# grep eth /etc/udev/rules.d/local-netifaces
KERNEL="eth*", SYSFS{address}="00:00:de:ad:be:ef", NAME="eth0"
KERNEL="eth*", SYSFS{address}="00:00:fe:ed:ba:be", NAME="eth1"

Re: 2 eth and boot

I have a box with 2 eth (1 intel, 1 3com)

each time it boot, eth0 and eth1 are different:

boot one: intel=eth0 3com=eth1
boot two: intel=eth1 3com=eth0

well, not alwais change, it seams to be random.

How i make to alwais be the same?


Interesting... i have two identical cards and they are always the same...
Having two different ones you might try putting the respective modules in 
/etc/modules in the order you want them, but i'm no expert. You can check dmesg 
in order to see what modules you need


This is a known problem and is currently being worked on by Debian 
Developers. For now, putting the modules in /etc/modules should be 
sufficient.

Warning: Hack follows.

You could try installing 'ifrename' and then create a startup script
that calls it before the interfaces are brought up. I'd suggest
finding the hardware address of each nic and then naming the
interfaces after them in some way (ie: eth00132096C267). Then there'd
be no doubt which interface was which.

Of course, it could be a real pain if you ever installed a new NIC.

Maybe it'd be better to use 'lspci' to decide the name of the NIC. I
dunno. Lots of options here.
