I am using centos 5 x86_64 AMD64 X2 4200+. I am current on yum update.
My machine has two ethernet cards. e1000 (eth0) and forcedeth (eth1)
[root@fsdsigns2 ~]# more /etc/modprobe.conf
alias eth0 e1000
alias eth1 forcedeth
sometimes on boot the forcedeth driver thinks it is eth0:
[root@fsdsigns2 ~]# dmesg | grep eth
forcedeth.c: Reverse Engineered nForce ethernet driver. Version 0.60.
forcedeth: using HIGHDMA
eth0: forcedeth.c: subsystem: 01458:e000 bound to 0000:00:07.0
e1000: eth1: e1000_probe: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth1: link is not ready
e1000: eth1: e1000_watchdog: NIC Link is Up 1000 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow
Control: RX/TX
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth1: link becomes ready
eth0: no IPv6 routers present
eth1: no IPv6 routers present
however, sometimes it starts up correctly:
[root@fsdsigns2 ~]# dmesg | grep eth
forcedeth.c: Reverse Engineered nForce ethernet driver. Version 0.60.
e1000: eth0: e1000_probe: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection
forcedeth: using HIGHDMA
eth1: forcedeth.c: subsystem: 01458:e000 bound to 0000:00:07.0
e1000: eth0: e1000_watchdog: NIC Link is Up 100 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow
Control: RX/TX
How can I get this connection to RELIABLY come up
each time as eth0 is e1000 and eth1 is forcedeth
Thanks,
Jerry
