How many ethernet cards do you have?

Check in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

no. only those:

Code:

5-udev-early.rules  50-udev.rules     60-net.rules     60-raw.rules         90-dm.rules   95-pam-console.rules
40-multipath.rules   51-hotplug.rules  60-pcmcia.rules  85-pcscd_ccid.rules  90-hal.rules  bluetooth.rules

Search for something like this, should be somewhere:

SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:14:a5:c6:79:dc", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="wlan*", NAME="wlan0"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:0f:b0:cb:32:a0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0"

Or ask in forum about Centos 5.2, I use OpenSuse.

tnx but this is a different topic. I just want to disable eth2 and eth3.

I know that.
Can just look into /lib/udev/rename_device and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/net.hotplug - those are scripts which I think give the namas - eth2 and eth3
