try the other NICs, and find out which NIC maps to which ethernet
device and adjust your configs accordingly.
This is a VERY common problem. I see it all the time.
But if you want to make things hard on yourself that's your
choice...
Hi Nate
I will check this out (I don't like to leave things hanging in the air) ...
I still disagree with what your saying: if this was the case than Linux would (potentially) map ETH devices differently every time a multi NIC system boots. While I've been away from managing Linux systems for a good few years I'm sure this kind of unpredictable behavior would have caused Linux to be thrown out of the window on all multihomed configuration (i.e. firewalls, routers etc ...), and Microsoft to publisize and abuse it against Linux in any of their smear capaigns to the point that it would have been picked up by the leading tech media for me to hear about it. In addtion it would have been a known issue for developers to find work arounds to overcome this debilitating issue.
Please don't get angry with me or my point of view. It's not anything personal. If I wrote anything that sounded offensive or personally directed in your direction I apologize. There was definitely no pun from my side.
