The aliases above mean that whenever eth0 is activated, the kernel will always load the 8139too module for eth0, and if it can't load the 8139too module (i.e. if that card is out) then you won't get an eth0 interface. Likewise for eth1. -- Stephen Patterson http://patter.mine.nu/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] remove SPAM to reply Linux Counter No: 142831 GPG Public key: 252B8B37 Last one down the pub's an MCSE -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
