I have two NIC's in a server. One always comes up as eth0, the other
always eth1. One is on-board, the other is an add-on.
I'd like to swap them around, that is to say, have the NIC that is
currently eth0 become eth1, and the NIC which is eth1 become eth0.
Is this possible?

If they use
This is my lilo (grub has the same thing)
append="ether=5,0xe400,eth0 ether=10,0x300,eth1"
and it ensures that eth0 is the one on irq5 and eth1 on irq10

Alternatively, you can use udev to give them whatever names you like.

That's what I was looking for, I'll have to give that a shot. Thanks!

It seems you are correct. According to

And /usr/src/linux/Documentation/kernel-p

Sorry, never mind...I found it.
Does it actually work for renaming eth0 to eth1 and eth1 to eth0, or
does it only work for renaming "eth0" to "lan0", for examp

Probably not, because you could

Just
Check the Gentoo udev docs which have links to a couple of good sites that are
helpful.
