Hi All,
I am running Fedora 8 32-bit with no updates (fresh install) on a
server with a Tyan S5380 motherboard with the latest 2.00 BIOS. This
motherboard has two Intel GbE ports on the motherboard.
Oddly, when I type ifconfig -a, these GbE ports appear as eth10 and
eth11. There is no eth0. I've been around Linux for a few years and
have never seen anything like this, so I'm stumped. Why would it not
map these GbE ports as eth0 and eth1, as expected?
[root@localhost ~]# ifconfig -a

Any ideas on this?
Thanks!
