I wish I *knew* how the interfaces are numbered, but if you keep the drivers as modules (or 1 of), you can force the order. i.e. compile the 3x59x into the kernel, and the eepro100 as a module. The kernel will have support for the 3com during boot assigning it eth0, loading eepro100 later will give it eth1. Alternatively, leave both drivers as modules, and in /etc/modules.d/aliases add: alias eth0 3c59x alias eth1 eepro100 Once you've 'update-modules''d, don't try to automatically load the modules, as when something tries to access either eth0 or eth1 the module will automatically be loaded. - -- Mike Williams -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAIXYnInuLMrk7bIwRAngPAKCQqVUzTRvR3MdZ9/wHxdnmLOgm2ACfenJ1 r/oQCSP+yTEmyg5NPq6TADM= =93eb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
