Its udev, or nameif. Some apps (and worse: lusers!) expect stable network device names. They cant be bothered to name them foo and bar and be done with it. No, it has to be eth0, even if the driver load order is undefined. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
