I have servers with up to 8 network interfaces (2 quadport NICs). I really don't want to try "educated" guesses which interface is assigned what "eth#". Especially since HP sometimes uses 2 different chips for the 4 onboard interfaces. (BL680c G5 specific) Currently interface are assigned as follows: internal 1 - eth0 internal 2 - eth1 internal 3 - eth6 internal 4 - eth7 addon 1 - eth2 addon 2 - eth3 addon 3 - eth4 addon 4 - eth5 Who knows how long this is going to stay this way? Next kernelrelease? Next hardware revision? tschüß thomas
