network-scripts Does Not Match ifconfig or /proc/net

alienslideshow · 12-16-2010, 09:52 AM

Bugzilla # 224662 & 9
Red Hat 5.2

a) /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts displays only eth0 and lo0. However, /proc/net/dev and ifconfig INCORRECTLY display :

__tmp816518377:
eth0
eth1
eth2
lo0
sit0

b) the _tmp NIC is reported in the above Bugzilla report and I'm looking for a patch.

c) Why is the kernel continuing to make NICS for eth1, 2 and sit0?

Have you NICs with same manufacturer ?
Update your kernel and it will show correctly.
