If you need to have the networkcards in a different order, then you could specify which card should be eth0 and eth1 by specifying eth0 module first in /etc/modules like this: 3c59x tg3 this makes the card with 3c59x be eth0 and the card with tg3 be eth1. - -- Klaus -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAs62nhJ+fXyb6R30RAktNAJ9kMz+CEzKY8TkpibkUjui9h3K87ACgiOuc uzSGpsOhA4WQiRTuVuTeZGw= =cLyn -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
