BIOS lists one device.
Motherboard does not have an interface card.
No fiber optic.
No BNC connector.
I commented out the "ghost" MAC address from udev's rules file and
rebooted. It has not reappeared. However, the problem I have is that the
ethernet ports don't stick in the same order. They came up in a completely
different order. I now have eth0, 1, and 4. What was eth0 prior to the
reboot is now ... uh ... 'rename4' according to the udev messages:
udev: renamed network interface eth0 to rename2 (this is the Intel Pro 100
add-in card [e100 module])
udev: renamed network interface eth1 to eth0 (this is the SMC1255TX add-in
card [tulip module])
udev: renamed network interface rename2 to eth1
udev: renamed network interface eth2 to rename4 (this is the motherboard
ethernet port [VIA Rhine module])
What gives?? How can I tell it to either stop mucking with them, or to do
it in the order I want it to:
on-board: eth0
Intel: eth1
SMC: eth2
