Hi,
Would anyone know how to force the system to assign a specific
network card a specific eth device. Is there a file/ setting that can be
adjusted to force this operation.?
I had this problem with my system. I wanted to use my 100-base-T
connection for the link to the router, but wanted my Gigabit connection for
the LAN side. But when I did the install, they were reversed.
I really think for that example that swapping the cables would be the
easiest solution.
I hope that was meant to be humerous.
Swapping cables is one thing, but what about having to go into any of
a dozen places in your system and swapping eth0 with eth1?
Some of us have developed pretty elaborate firewall rules, not to
mention many other configurations that point to particular interfaces.
Maybe if this was a brand new installation that might work, but not in
all cases.
Have you tried using the "HWADDR=" bit in the ifcfg-ethx scripts?
