Hi,
I'm just updating this thread to post useful information.
I was unable to use ifrename to do the trick ...
I have upgraded the server to slackware 12, since the disk mirroring was
incomplete when slackware 12 was released, so I decided to rebuild the
raid array and install slackware 12 on it :)
Tuning the file "/etc/udev/rules.d/75-network-devices.rules" as needed
seems to solve the problem.
I encourage everyone who uses slackware as you system to upgrade to v12 :)
Although I think samba 3.0.25b needs some "monitoring", got some strange
behavior from this version, downgrading brought everything back in place.
Thanks for all your help,
Mauricio

Hi all,
I'm here asking for solutions for the Damned "Ethernet device
enumeration" problem!
I have a P5b Mobo for my office server, it has 2 integrated NICs, but
the order for eth0/eth1 changes at each boot! It's getting me mad!
I'm using slackware 11.0, kernel 2.6.21.3.
I know Suse and RHEL has a solution, but it integrates too many things
to get it working under slackware.
Any "easy"(not with so many dependencies) way?
Thanks,
Mauricio
