Can anyone explain to me why eth0 is better/before eth1 ?
I have several machines where I use eth1 instead of eth0. I just
added/changed the line ONBOOT=no in the ifcfg-eth0 files and thats
it. I did not see any side effects.
If my knowledge is correct, you can always any name you want just
by putting the right alias in /etc/modules.conf[1] and having the
corresponding ifcfg-<name> in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/.
[1] You don't have to use alias if you put the REAL device name
in ifcfg-<name>.
