My motherboard assigns them by the highest PCI number first. 01:06.0 gets to be eth0, and 01:05.0 gets to be eth1. This is with 2.4.20 kernel and a Tyan S2060 Tomcat i815 motherboard. Check /var/log/dmesg to see how they are assigned. I don't know if it depends on the motherboard or the kernel, but I suspect it's the kernel. jc -- Jeff Coppock Systems Engineer Diggin' Debian Admin and User -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
