Thanks Pete, that's the first part of the puzzle. I've edited that file, and I'll see after I reboot if it fixes the assignment problem. But the second part of the puzzle is how that file gets modified, and how do I stop it from changing the numbers already assigned. Is it harddrake2 that overwrites this when it finds a new ethernet-capable device? Is there some way to stop it from making the newest hardware eth0 and increasing the number on the oldest hardware? Ron -- Opinions are mine. Don't blame anyone else. Rely on them at your own risk. ____________________________________________________ Want to buy your Pack or Services from Mandriva?
