Re: Two NICs

I know it can get confusing. My asus motherboard has two, and the
windows "enumerator" supplied occasionally swaps them over when you
reboot. Linux is fine. The one marked "1" on the back is always
eth0, and the one marked "2" is eth1.

Lucky you. We have machines where Linux assigns the numbers
differently at different times. IIRC we get different assignments
with different kernels, but sometimes also with the same kernel.
There are ways to deal with this (IIRC based on coldplug stuff), not
sure what we are doing.
