I suspected that much at least and am glad to have confirmation of it. Just 
got and tried what you mean via an answer on another ubuntu forum

sudo rm /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
sudo reboot

That seems to have done the job and so I am keeping an eye out to see if the 
behaviour remains re not seeing the interface on certain reboots which would 
now suggest other issues. This has got the interface seen as eth0 again. Now 
I gotta go into firestarter again and tell it to go back to that one LOL

It's because the mac address has changed hence linux assigns it as a
new ethernet device, which it is. There is a way to reset this but I
can't for the life of me remember.

I stumbled upon it after moving a virtual machine and the same thing
happened because I used new device ids.

If I can manage to find the link I'll post it.

Re: ethernet Q

2009-03-16 Thread Vantrax
Did you rebuild from scratch off a CD? Or just tweak the install to work
with the new MB?

Typically if it works id just leave it alone and remove old entries from the
network manager.


You can do anything you set your mind to when you have vision,
determination, and and endless supply of expendable labor.

ethernet Q

2009-03-16 Thread James Takac
Hi Guys

I had a motherboard blow on a computer a few weeks back and finally got the 
system rebuilt with a new mobo. However the ethernet connection is now seen 
as eth1 instead of eth0 and on various reboots ubuntu is not seeing it at 
all. I suspect it has something to do with the new assigment and so am 
wondering where I might look to edit things so as to edit out the old 
ethernet assignment since that adapter no longer exists and what do I need to 
watch out for if taking this road

Thx
James
