Hi all, I have a machine running debian etch (2.6.18) with an onboard (8159) ethernet interface and a firewire port. By default both the kernel (as witnessed by dmesg) and /sys/class/net see eth0 = firewire eth1 = ethernet
If I blacklist the ieee1394, uhci1394 and eth1394 modules (or disactivate the 1394 port in the bios) the kernel dmesg logs now show eth0=ethernet as expected BUT /sys/class/net shows only eth1 (which is the ethernet) This is causing udev to assign the ethernet to eth1, even if I delete the z25-persistent-net.rules file. This is logical since looking at the udev scripts they scan /sys/class/net and use the devices assigned there unless that conflicts with the current config. I could get ethernet assigned to eth0 by editing (rather than deleting) the persisten-net.rules file but I'm trying to create a disk image whichj can be installed on multiple machines (and could thus include appropriate module blacklists but not autogenerated udev rules which depend on the final target network card MAC addreses) In case it matters I'm not using debian installer but debootstrap + grub to generate the disk. any ideas appreciated, Martin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
