may I suggest an alternative solution? on my firewalls I rename the eth* |
| 20 |
to a name more meaningful to me: |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
"/etc/udev/rules.d/60-net.rules" |
| 23 |
KERNEL="eth*", SYSFS{address}="00:50:ff:f6:1f:e6", NAME="lan" |
| 24 |
KERNEL="eth*", SYSFS{address}="00:90:2e:1b:d1:55", NAME="ext" |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
then in "/etc/conf.d/net" |
| 28 |
modules=( "iproute2" ) |
| 29 |
config_lan=( "192.168.69.1/24" ) |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
the 6 bytes numbers are the mac address of the ethernet cards. This also |
| 33 |
help to have a deterministic name of ethernet card after moving them on |
| 34 |
pci slot, rebuilding kernel etc. |
| 35 |

thanks for this solution goes to a gentoo dev but sadly I've forgot who . |
