Craige,
The gigabit works if I alias eth1 to e1000 in modules.conf.
what seems to be the problem, If I can explain better (I have never been good at explaining problems in emails)
What I want is the gigabit to be eth0, and the 100mbit to be eth1.
There is no major reason behind this other than I like having the Internet interface physically above the LAN interface. (The gigabit is onboard, so moving the nic's around isn't an option).
When I alias the gigabit to be eth0 in modules.conf, the 100mb is still used as eth0, but I want it to be eth1. Is there any config file I need to modify?

Hope I have explained myself better in this.

Thanks,

Scott
