Ok, if I use the HWADDR value and last initscripts-8.31.5-1 I can bind the logical device with physical device. Many thanks! A little problem, and question: If the logical device is load without the HWADDR set, and it is not bind to the correct physical device, the MAC show with 'ip a' is not that right > [root@cambiami ~]# grep -E '(device: eth|network.h)' /etc/sysconfig/hwconf > device: eth2 > network.hwaddr: 00:09:5b:1c:9d:97 > device: eth1 > network.hwaddr: 00:40:f4:5f:8e:d1 > device: eth0 > network.hwaddr: 00:13:d3:0d:38:c6 > > [root@cambiami ~]# ip a|grep -E '(: eth|link/et)' > 2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,10000> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000 > link/ether 00:09:5b:1c:9d:97 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff > 3: eth1: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000 > link/ether 00:40:f4:5f:8e:d1 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff > 4: eth2: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000 > link/ether 00:13:d3:0d:38:c6 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff In this scenario, If I run 'neat' and press [probe] for eth0, the MAC address returned is 00:09:...(natsemi) and not 00:13:...(r8169) What is the best way to get the right MAC for a specific network card?
