Hello All,
I have a box with 2 ethernet cards. One is a ne2k-pci and one is a
tulip. Under 2.2.X the ne card is eth0 and the tulip is eth1. Unfortunatly
if I boot a 2.4.X kernel, the tulip card is assigned eth0 and the ne card
eth1, which of course breaks all my networking setup scripts. I can get
the 2.4.X kernels to assign 2.2.X identities by using command line args
like (from memory):
ethers=eth1
but unfortunatly at least one of the cards does not work if I try this.
I "solved" the problem by using kernel modules and an /etc/modules.conf
file that looks like this:
alias eth0 ne2k-pci
alias eth1 tulip
but I would really rather not use a modular kernel. I have no idea what I
would do if I had two identical network cards in the computer. Is there
a better way to solve this problem?
Thanks,
Jim
