Thanks for the replay Markus, I thought that too but on reboot of the
server it stayed at "eth1". That is why I disabled the other NIC in the
bios and deleted all NIC configurations and reconfigured when it did come
up as eth0.
It looks now like I need to keep the current NIC ("88E8001" with rx
overruns) as device "eth0" so flexlm works and enable the "Marvell
88E8052" in the bios to take over the ethernet traffic.
Cheers,
Steve
