Hi Wayne, Yes. `ifconfig eth1' brings up the network. Take a look at
/etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules: I had this occur on a laptop. My net_rules file had a bunch of eth lines and my eth1 cane up when I did 'ifup eth6". Removed all of the eth rules except eth0 and all was well again.
There's another rule with a different MAC address in this file. This reminds me that I once used another 3com NIC in the PC. So udev remembers this. Thank you very much! Best regards, Yuwen :-) HTH, YMMV, HAND :-)
