Hmmm... what guarantee is there that PCI device ordering is stable? MAC addresses have the advantage of not being subject to change because you flashed the system BIOS and things are enumerated in a different order, or you decided to add a multifunction card that adds its own brand-new set of PCI busses, and your dodgy BIOS decides to renumber everything. > Regards, > > Hans > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe initramfs" in > the body of a message to [email protected] > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe initramfs" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
