This matches chassis PCI slot order on many, many motherboards. I get confused when ethX is assigned in a different order. You can bind ethX to a specific card [not slot] by using HWADDR= in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX. That's fine, but I prefer an option to assign ethX by PCI slot, because that's what I can see when I plug in the cables. My NICs are various brands and models, but I treat them all as generic because that is much simpler, especially in the beginning. -- -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
