How to configure two NIC's in Debian 6.0.4 box?
I have a dual-boot Win$/Debian box having two cards, an older one 3Com (3C905TX in Win$, 3c59x in Deb) and a newer one TP Link (TF-3200 in Win$, sundance in Deb). Both cards are wired to the other two machines in the LAN, the older card links to an older box, the newer card links to a newer box. The issue is that the 'central' box sees the old NIC as eth0 and the new NIC as eth1, though I would like it to be the opposite. Besides that, it seems that the cards get renamed during the system boot, as follows: renamed network interface eth1 to eth1-eth0 renamed network interface eth0 to eth1 renamed network interface eth1-eth0 to eth0 The only stuff within /etc/network/interfaces is: auto lo iface lo inet loopback and the working parameters for both cards are set by Network Manager Applet 0.8.1 I wonder what is the best way to reconfigure the NIC's so the old card (now eth0) boots as eth1, and the new card (now eth1) boots as eth0? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

You could use static naming based on the mac address, for instance, here you have an approach for the involved steps: Udev: Renaming Network Interfaces http://debianclusters.org/index.php/Udev:_Renaming_Network_Interfaces (the file is named /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules) Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
