The card with the very long hardware address |
| 66 |
(00-E0-81-00-00-30-BA-8D-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00) is a firewire link. |

You can rename your two interfaces with udev : |
| 69 |
1 - Create a file in /etc/udev/rules.d/ (for example: 20-local.rules) |
| 70 |
2 - Put the two following lines : |
| 71 |
SYSFS{address}=="AB:CD:EF:12:34:56", NAME="lan0" |
| 72 |
SYSFS{address}=="12:34:56:78:90:AB:CD:EF", NAME="fw0" |
| 73 |
|
| 74 |
Of course, you must replace AB:CD:EF:12:34:56 and 12:34:56:78:90:AB:CD:EF by |
| 75 |
the corresponding addresses of the cards. To do this, you can use : |
| 76 |
# udevinfo -a -p /sys/class/net/eth0 |
| 77 |
