I decided to completely delete everything out of udev's rules file and restart the system. This brought up the devices in whatever discovered order. Then I modified the rules file to set them in the correct order (simply by changing the NAME= key) and rebooted again. Now they're all coming up in

BIOS lists one device. Motherboard does not have an interface card. No fiber optic. No BNC connector. I commented out the "ghost" MAC address from udev's rules file and rebooted. It has not reappeared. However, the problem I have is that the ethernet ports don't stick in the same order. They

But it is. The MAC address on the motherboard port is NOT the same as the mystery device. And it DOES match one of the entries in udev's rules, and it's operational right now as eth0 (as it should be.) However, the mystery MAC address that's listed in udev's rules matches nothing in either lshw

Yeah, rpmforge or repoforge. But, I'm looking for what exactly? It only lists a single ethernet port (the built-in one). lspci lists the other two, and all of those MAC addresses are correct. The one that doesn't match ONLY appears in the udev rules file. On Fri, Dec 28, 2012 at 11:18 AM, Fra

By the way, I know that the tulip drives is what is driving the SMC1255TX ... in case anyone was wondering if that's what I'm asking. It's not. It's the hardware MAC address that's puzzling to me as it doesn't exist on this machine anywhere. At least not that I can tell. On Fri, Dec 28, 2012 at

[CentOS] Ethernet puzzle

2012-12-28 Thread Ashley M. Kirchner
So I just finished doing a fresh install of CentOS 6.3. The machine has three ethernet ports in it: one on the motherboard (VIA Rhine), and two add-on cards, an Intel Pro100 and an old SMC1255TX. When CentOS comes up, this is what I see in the dmesg output: # dmesg | grep eth e
