I've got a setup thusly: in an older compaq deskpro pcmcia - isa adapter card with orinoco pc card on board nic two intel eepro100 cards one 3c509 isa card after an install of psyche they are configured in this manner device name driver bus -------------------------------------------- eth0 tlan onboard (pci) eth1 eepro100 pci eth2 eepro100 pci eth3 3c509 isa eth4 orinoco_cs isa I'm trying to find out if I can force the device names to be some other than the above. For example, when I try to shoe horn eth1 to be the tlan adapter the interface will fail to startup. During this experiment, only one entry exists in /etc/modules.conf alias eth1 tlan and only ifcfg-eth1 exists under /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ and I have run "depmod -a" The tlan module get loaded but ifup reports that the device does not exist. How does the mapping between device name and module get created? -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
