Greetings all; I am in the process of building up an old MSI K8M890M2-V motherboard, with an Athlon 64X2 at 3.8Ghz on it, to be used for cnc machine control, and while I finally did get networking up and running, I was amazed to find that udev would create an eth0 on finding an 8139too on the motherboard, this is in dmesg, but then renames it to eth5! Fixing my /etc/network/interfaces file to bring up eth5 made it work normally.
But call me bumfuzzled by that remaning, what genius thought that was a good idea? And I've not found an entry in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net that would explain it. Can someone advise as to the reasoning for that? Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
