I have two NICs in my system, one for Internet and the other for my private network. The NIC that I want to be eth0 uses the forcedeth module and the NIC I want to be eth1 uses the 3c59x module.
I have set up aliases in my /etc/modules.d/forcedeth: alias eth0 forcedeth and /etc/modules.d/3c59x alias eth1 3c59x My systems used to load these correctly, but lately it has been loading the forcedeth as eth1 and 3c59x as eth0. Even when I stop both net.eth0 and net.eth1 and unload the modules and start net.eth0, it still loads the 3c59x which should be eth1. My /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 do not load these modules. What I can do to ensure that it associates the correct module with the correct eth? Thanks, Ken -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
