You should be able to switch the modprobe lines in /etc/modules.conf. In debian, this means changing the file in /etc/modutils that has the aliases for eth0 and eth1. You'll probably also have to change the interface information in /etc/network/interfaces, unless you use dhcp for both cards. -- Nick -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I've never used it, but according to the manpage, nameif can do this. see man 8 nameif. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

If you're using kernel 2.4 and package iproute2, you could do it like this: ip link set eth0 name eth1 -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I've just tested this on a laptop. But unfortunately it does not work for me. I guess there is a way to pass some options to the kernel module for the pcmcia-nic (pcnet_cs.o in my case). If that does not help, it seems not to be possible to have eth1 without eth0. Perhaps there is a way to create some "dummy" device eth1, which routes all traffic to eth0 and vice versa. But this is very hypothetical and I don't tried this :-( -- Greetings, Tobias PGP/GnuPG Key ID 0xAE034AAD (preferred) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I have not tested this, but try the following kernel parameter at boot time (i.e. in your lilo/grub configuration or by hand): ether=0,0,eth1 (The format is ether=irq,addr,name where 0 indicates autoprobe for irq and addr.) As stated above, don't know if this works with a single nic. -- Greetings, Tobias PGP/GnuPG Key ID 0xAE034AAD (preferred) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
