Public bug reported:
I installed today GUTSY from netboot (kernel 2.6.22.12-generic) in text-
only mode to test on a server.
This server worked flawlessly with Ubuntu 6.06 LTS server (dapper), and
lan cards are very generic and was recognized without any problem in the
netboot installation of gutsy.
This is /var/log/syslog on booting:

It's ok, ethernet controllers are recognized and modules loaded
flawlessly! But now let's look at lshw:

Please watch on "logical name" label. eth0 and eth1 are not used, but system
assign my network cards as eth2 and eth3! And this is the output if I try to
bring up eth0 and eth1 interfaces:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# ifconfig eth0 up
eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# ifconfig eth1 up
eth1: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
Strange thing, doesn't it? On my Ubuntu 6.06 LTS eth0 was the SIS internal
card, and eth1 was the PCI 8139D card. On GUTSY kernel detects 8139D to eth0
and SIS card to eth1, but load them as eth2 and eth3. How can i fix it?
