    Hello,

    I'm trying to use Shorewall on a Suse 9.2 box, with 2 Ethernet device.
    I must precise the device name, but eth0 and eth1 is swapping.

    Reading the mailing-list, i saw the option PERSISTENT_NAME for my ifcfg-XXX
    files.

    When I tried ti set en0 and en1 to name my ethernet card, my cards still be
    named eth0 and eth1 allocated in a random order.

    Someone can explain me where is my error ?

    chibilchin:/etc/sysconfig/network # cat "ifcfg-eth-bus-pci-0000:02:01.0"
