[SLUG] Locking network interface number to specific MAC address
Hi all, I have a motherboard with two identical (apart from the MAC addresses of course) ethernet interfaces. The two MAC addresses are consectutively numbered; XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:34 and XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:35. On most reboots, the interface with the 34 MAC address becomes eth2 and the other becomes eth3, but very occasionally they get swapped around which rather screws things up. Is there any way to lock a MAC address to an interface name?

Hi Eric,
You probably need to write a udev rule to specify the kernel interface.
Don't know how to write a udev rule? Have a look here:
http://reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html
Rule would look like...
SUBSYSTEM==net, DRIVERS==?*, ATTRS{address}==XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:34,
NAME=eth2
SUBSYSTEM==net, DRIVERS==?*, ATTRS{address}==XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:35,
NAME=eth3
I have gentoo and udev-104-r12 does this automatically, so if a device
is used for the first time, the udev rules get created automatically
and the so the interface name for the device doesn't change across
reboots. I've just copied the rules generated.
Cheers,
Erik
Regards

This rocky shrine to the skull of a ruler grants no prayers. It has
become
the grave of lamentations. Only the wind hears the voice of this place.
The cries of night creatures and the passing wonder of two moons, all
say his
day has ended. No more supplicants come. The visitors have gone from the
feast.
How bare the pathway down this mountain.

Is there any way to lock a MAC address to an interface name? There certainly is, though it varies on distro. In debian/ubuntu, you put a hwaddress entry into the interfaces line. e.g. iface eth0 inet static address 10.206.60.107 netmask 255.255.0.0 gateway 10.206.100.250 hardware XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:34 I'm fairly sure the same type of thing applies in the ifcfg-XXX world of redhat derivatives greeno -- Tony Green [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

Also explains why the interfaces on this machine were eth2 and eth3 and not eth0 and eth1 (the drive was cloned from another machine with the same motherboard).
