That's the same way files in /etc/portage/ works too.
I do wish we could put a # on the front to make it ignore files.
We can dream I guess.
Yes& why did it start doing this only with the new mobo
-- was it provoked by seeing an unknown driver ?
And whyever did it want to rename the device to 'eth1' ??
So that eth0 still works. It can't know that what you have is a new
mobo rather than you having added an additional NIC.
Also, make sure to emerge sys-kernel/linux-firmware. Without it,
RTL8111/8168B NICs will produce random connectivity hang-ups after a few
hours; they need firmware that was previously part of the kernel itself
but has now been split to sys-kernel/linux-firmware.
Do a:
dmesg | grep -i firmware
and check for firmware loading errors.
