hi all. first of all, I'm not suscribed to this list, so please cc: me
in the answers.
so, I just installed an etch server (wanted shorewall 3.x) which will
serve an internal net through 4 adsl lines. the problem (is not actually a
problem, but I would like to know anyways) is that the third nic appears as
the eth2_temp device. the relevant entries in /etc/network/interfaces are:
auto arnet1
iface arnet1 inet ppp
provider arnet1
auto eth2
iface eth2 inet manual
(the arnet1 pseudo device is the ppp link over this eth). I only run
pppoeconfig to setup the adsl connection. I even tried rebooting the server,
but the iface is still named so. here's the relevant output of ifconfig -a:
eth2_temp Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:E0:7D:77:C0:BB
BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
Interrupt:169 Base address:0xdc00
I tried grep'ing the whole /etc to look for a possible culprit for this
name, but nothing relevant came up.
