Perhaps on later Fedora systems. On the F7 school servers I don't see 75-persistent-net-generator.rules. Fedora 7 uses a cruder approach, adopted by the XS software, of placing the device MAC address inside the network script (even if there is only one device). On first boot, the network-scripts are rewritten, biasing the device assignment toward known reliable NICs as the WAN port (eth0). > -- > James Cameron mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http:// > quozl.netrek.org/ > _______________________________________________ > Server-devel mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel _______________________________________________ Server-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
