This one's got me stumped for a few days now... How is it possible to control the network interface numbering assignment order?
Here's my specific case: the box has 2 on-board Ethernet interfaces and a 3rd one on a PCI-Express card. They come up as: re0: PCI-Express card re1: on-board interface #1 re2: on-board interface #2 A recent event had disabled the PCI card, and the remaining network interfaces ended up being reassigned (upon the next reboot, of course) as: re0: on-board interface #1 re1: on-board interface #2 Could this have been prevented by forcing network interface assignment to on-board interface _first_, then the PCI card? Or is there a way to bind network interface assignment to the adapter's MAC address as numbering hint? -- JHT
