Hi All,
I have just switched motherboards (and embeded NIC) in my Fedora 11
machine, after the motherboard failed. This changed my only NIC in
the machine from a Marvell 88E8001 Gigabit (driver skge) to a Realtek
RTL-8139 (driver 8139too). Initially networking failed to start:
# service network start
Bringing up loopback interface: [ OK ]
Bringing up interface eth0: skge device eth0 does not seem to be
present, delaying initialization.
[FAILED]
I cleared all the old configuration I could find:
1) Removed old alias from /etc/modprobe.d/local.conf:
alisa eth0 skge
2) Updated MAC address for new card in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:
HWADDR=00:0c:76:dc:06:f9
3) And rebooted, yet after a reboot the kernel continues to call the
new NIC eth1 and not eth0.
# ip -o link
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWERUP> ...
2: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> ...
...
# lshw
...

logical name: eth1
...
serial: 00:0c:76:dc:06:f9
...
I have worked around this and restored networking by renaming
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 to ifcfg-eth1 and updated
DEVICE=eth1, and now networking starts OK. But is there any way to
get my primary and only network interface called eth0? Is there some
configuration I have missed?
TIA,
Mike
