Hi all, The subject should spell it out, but what I'm wondering is if there is any way to force Arch to not probe for say eth0 when eth1 is prefered over eth0 and such? Thanks for any help on that question! Basically eth0 is my laptop's ethernet card, while eth1 is the wireless card. While the wireless card is used specifically for Internet connection, the wired is never used at all. I have my laptop configured through the use of netCFG to handle the wireless to make it a bit faster to configure. While that is the case, I would prefer that only that eth1 is used, and would like to see eht0 disappear totally from the list of detected network interfaces if Arches kernel is flexible enough to do this. If anyone could get back to me I would appreciate it very much.
you can disable it from rc.conf by adding a ! in front of eth0 like this: INTERFACES=(!eth0 eth1) -- Ionut
