A server I am working with has two NICs :
0000:02:01.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corp. 82545GM Gigabit Ethernet
Controller (rev 04)
and
0000:05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5721
Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (rev 01)
My /etc/modutils/aliases (yes, I ran update-modules) contains :
alias eth0 tg3
The ethernet cable is plugged into the Broadcom NIC above. However, when I
boot up the machine, eth0 gets assigned to the Intel NIC and module e1000
gets loaded. Module tg3 also gets loaded. The result is that the network
connected goes down.
Is this because of hotplug ?
Short of taking out the Intel card, is there a way to make sure that the
machine actually respects the modules.conf entry ?
