This only works if you have three entirely separate NIC chipsets that you can map to particular ports. If you have a four port tulip card in there, you still won't be setting eth0 to a particular port. ifrename / iftab is the best way to do it at the port / MAC level. - Jeff -- linux.conf.au 2007: Sydney, Australia http://lca2007.linux.org.au/ "When there's public debate and mass hysteria, that's when the patches roll in." - Michael Meeks -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
