Hi,

On my laptop I have two network cards eth0 and eth1 where eth1 is the wireless card. I just made a fresh installation of Fedora 8 and I have discovered that it deals with both of them as if eth0 is the wireless one and eth1 is the normal (cable connection) card.

On my network device control menu, it read my eth0 (it reads the hardware right) yet it says this is a wireless card! and the opposite for eth1 (i.e it reads the hardware right but it says this is an ethernet connection (not a wireless as it should be)).

I am not good at all at network issues but I tried my best until I could get eth1 to work as the cable connection one.

Any ideas how to solve this, and get back to normal situation?
PS.

I did the installation via the internet, and it could configure eth0 as the cable connection easily.

Thanks,

This is weired!

My friend has a wireless router in his office, next to me, and when I asked him to turn it off and made a fresh installation again, it all went fine, any explanation!?

Not sure if it's the same on your distro, but try looking in the network rules in /etc/udev/rules.d. You should find one that assigns the network cards. Just edit it to get the cards in the order you want.

Cheers.
