Subject: Switching eth cards
Hi, how can I switch my eth cards, so the one that is recognived as
eth0 will be eth1 and the eth1 will become eth0 ?
I've tried changing in /etc/modprobe.conf
alias eth0 ne2k-pci
alias eth1 8139too
to
alias eth0 8139too
alias eth1 ne2k-pci
but that didn't work :-(
Thanks for help

I had the same problem when I tried to upgrade to FC5. FC5 insisted on
switching my NIC cards around. I have scripts that need them the way they
were. I had been adding the following which didn't work:
alias eth0 e100
alias eth1 tulip
On April 1 I got the following reply...
Add to modprobe.conf after the aliases:
install tulip /sbin/modprobe -q etho; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install tulip
This worked.
