Yes, really annoying. I have a laptop with an ether NIC (eth0) and a wireless card (eth1), and whenever I suspend the machine, they seem to get reversed. What's needed (I think) is a way to bind the names to interfaces by MAC address. (And no, including the MAC addresses in /etc/sysconfig/networ-scripts/ifcfg-eth? doesn't do the job. It just gives an error indication that the interface is bound to the wrong card.) -- Matthew Saltzman Clemson University Math Sciences mjs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.math.clemson.edu/~mjs -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
