Okay. Somewhat unique situation. I have two network cards in my old PC (which talk to two different networks). I will be moving the PCI ethernet card over to my new computer permanently.
The default is for it to assign eth0 to the PCI card and eth1 to the one on the motherboard. I am currently getting the new(er) one configured, but I also can't leave the old one down until I get the new one configured. It is a bit time consuming to keep swapping the ethernet card between the computers. (I know get a new card, but I hope to have this finished by the time it gets approved, ordered, shipped.) While I'm working on the new PC, it would be helpful if I could reference the ethernet port on the motherboard as eth1 (even though there is no eth0)... I have googled. Found various solutions all pointing in different directions, but everything I have tried so far has not worked. I think things I have found so far are out of date. Haven't tried specifying it as kernel parameters yet, what I saw said I needed to specify things like IRQ's (which I could find but... ><). Any pointers for doing this in a modern Linux system? Is it possible if there is no eth0? openSUSE 12.3 Paul Boniol -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NLUG" group.
