'man nameif' Works great, less filling - my Dell 840 has up to *4* ethernets (the onboard built-in, the dock, the built-in wireless, and a Xircom card that's a combo 56k modem/100BaseT). My /etc/mactab looks like this: # Onboard 10/100 port eth0 00:06:5b:b9:5e:27 # 10/100 port on Xircom 10/100/56K card eth2 00:10:a4:9c:a8:86 # wireless card wvlan0 00:02:2d:5c:11:48 eth1 00:02:2d:5c:11:48 # 10/100 port on dock... eth3 00:06:5b:ea:8e:4e (yes, there's 2 entries for the wireless - 2.4 kernel wants wvlanX, 2.6 calls it ethX. The magic under a RedHat system happens in: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup Hope that helps. --==_Exmh_-1616740185P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Exmh version 2.5 07/13/2001 iD8DBQE/T/PPcC3lWbTT17ARAgwbAKDgk/pGGzQWhO6nKX0NGmww7IlXeQCgpPd3 WzfJeyRRNK59KW+QCeSTYKo= =LSA/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_-1616740185P-- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
