[CentOS] ethernet card name eth1 randomly changes
im having problems installing my nic card. my eth1 keep on renaming randomly to dev****. whenever i change the ifcfg network scripts at sysconfig and reboot, the nic tends to renamed randomly. i have tried changing this thing from davicom to 3com nic's. dev6278 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:01:02:91:01:6D BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) Interrupt:11 Base address:0xdf00 any one experienced this already? suggestions are highly recommended. thanks guys! eric

IIRC, one way is to include params in /etc/modules.conf (used to be - now modprob.conf?). But an easier way, I think is to modify /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/ifcfg-eth0/ to include something like HWADDR=00:01:80:3B:58:A9 replacing the hexidecimal numbers with the MAC address of your card. I think this new-fangled GUI stuff has a way to do it with a panel.> > eric > <snip sig stuff>HTH -- Bill -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
