Hi there,

I use SuSE 9.2 with KDE 3.3.0, with 2 network cards. 1 onboard gig card and one pci 100mb 3com card. I only use one actively, the other nic is for testing purposes, so its mostly not used. I like to use superkaramba for monitoring and desktop decoration. sometimes I notice that within superkaramba the network stats werent presented. What happens is that eth1 becomes eth0, and vice versa. After a while or couple of reboots they switch again.

Is there any way to manually put one physical card sticky to a eth* alias? And if so, how?

thanks.

Most likely, the order in which they're detected is the problem. To "force" a resolution to this, you could build both as modules, then load the modules in a certain order. I also believe an "alias" line in modules.conf might fix it, though I'm not certain.

Hi Matir,

I tried what you suggested, and for a while it seemed to work. But now after a week the nics have changes again.

No hardware changes or anything like that?
