Re: distinguish two identical network cards

If you pay attention to what slot you are putting them in you could script the install using lspci to get the cards right. ie...slots 3 & 4 are nics so eth0 = `lspci | grep for slot 3` of course grep for slot 3 may need replaced, use the man pages and play around.

Hello!

I've got a little problem with XSeries machines, containing two identical
builtin Broadcom NIC's. Is there any chance to get some information, which one
of the two cards is the upper, and which one is the lower card?
I need this information, because I want to install a lot of these machines
automatically.


Thank you for every hint,
kind regards,
Andreas Hartmann
