[plug] nic numbering

[Ronald Warner]

how does linux assign its nic numbering, i.e., eth0 to eth[nn]... i am wondering because i have a linux box in which i installed another nic. i configured it as eth1 but found out that eth0 moved to the new nic and the old nic because eth1...

is it assigned via slot? how does the numbering go if you have a dual nic?

thanks.
