RE: Network Name issue

Patricio,

  I had a very similar issue with a wireless Intel device coming
up as  _tmp29384792.  I found that if I did a service network stop and removed
the kernel module, loaded the kernel module and then service network start,
everything went back to normal.  I have not bothered to see why it loads this
way, as its only every few boots on my personal laptop.  If I remember
correctly people noted the hardware timeout before it completed loading, but
this is just a guess as to what it was as I never confirmed any comments people
had made.

  This isn’t a solution obviously  to the issue, but does give
you some steps to see if the devices can be reloaded and work or not.

Subject: [CentOS] Network Name issue

Hi,

I've installed CentOS 5 on a Dell pe1950 with 2 dual port NICS.

One of the NIC is an Intel and use the e1000 module.

The problem is when the server is rebooted it does no asign the ethx name to
the NICs, instead the so assign something like _dev377362...

so i dont have networking on the server.

Any ideas what is happening and how to solve it?

Thanks.
