Hi Erik, In my purpose built kernel I have in /etc/udev/rules.d/26-network.rules
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="net", BUS=="pci", ID=="0000:00:10.0", NAME="eth0" ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="net", BUS=="pci", ID=="0000:00:11.0", NAME="eth1" to solve this very problem. However tracking down the fix gave lot's of other ways tha should fix the problem but dudn't. Oh the kernel is 2.6.12. Good luck :-) Mark On Thu, 2007-05-17 at 14:20 +1000, Erik de Castro Lopo wrote: > Hi all, > > I have a motherboard with two identical (apart from the MAC addresses > of course) ethernet interfaces.
