Looking at /etc/udev/rules.d/ I'd found 70-persistent-net.rules with the lines below: # PCI Device: 0x10ec:0x8029 (ne2k-pci) SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTRS{address}=="00:c0:df:ea:d6:49", NAME="eth1"# PCI Device: 0x10b7:0x9200 (3c59x) SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTRS{address}=="00:04:75:c5:5c:ce", NAME="eth2" The interface with name eth1 match the mac address with the installed one, but interface eth2 does not, probably 'cause it might be the old card mac adress. Well, now I know that in some way udev add these links automatically I do thing that I can just change the mac address putting the right one, letting the file appear like below: # PCI Device: (via-rhine) SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTRS{address}=="00:50:8D:84:A8:4F", NAME="eth0" # PCI Device: 0x10ec:0x8029 (ne2k-pci) SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTRS{address}=="00:C0:DF:EA:D6:49", NAME="eth1" # PCI Device: 0x10b7:0x9200 (3c59x) SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTRS{address}=="00:50:04:6E:9C:AB", NAME="eth2" Well, that's OK, it do solve my problem but isn't it supposed to be an automatically process? Isn't it an UDEV or Gentoo task to deal with?
Please do not top post. Regarding your now solved problem, I don't have such file (70-persistent-net.rules) in my rules.d directory, it seems that it has something to do with automatic udev configuration. I don't have any idea on WHY or WHEN this is run. It appears to be run by some rule in UDEV configuration writting persistent net devices. Maybe someone else will have a better idea... They'll probably need your UDEV version... -- Daniel da Veiga Computer Operator - RS - Brazil -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCM/IT/P/O d-? s:- a?
