Product: initscripts Component: initscripts Summary: bad handling for multiple NICs Version: 6.91-16mdk Platform: PC OS/Version: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The handling of multiple network adapters is quite bad, as it is bound to the interface number the kernel gives the device dynamicly (eth0, eth1). This might be no big deal on desktop computers but it is quite anoying with notebooks if you have e.g. a pcmcia wireless card and an internal network card. Then it is possible that those two get mixed up (internel -> eth0, wireless -> eth1 or internel -> eth1, wireless -> eth0). Those two also need a different configuration... That's why I'd vote for a system like the one which was invented there: http://www.geocrawler.com/mail/msg.php3?msg_id=3726041&list=38 ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
