Really? On my systems the first wireless is usually wlan0. As to how the cards are enumerated...unless the system was installed with the new NIC already there, it depends on how the mobo scans the buses. For example, on Dell 2950s, the on-board NICs are seen first, followed by the PCI cards. On the (more or less equivalent) Dell 1950s, PCI NICs are seen before the on-board NICs. Go figure. Once they're found and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX scripts are created, the HWADDR in those files pretty much keeps things tied together. If you stuff in a new NIC, it _should_ be the next one in sequence, regardless which bus it's on as the system generally honors existing configs (note I said "generally"). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, C2 Hosting ricks@xxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - "Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick" - - themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened." - - -- Winston Churchill - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
