Another approach: |
| 49 |
When linux loads the modules it assigns the names by the order of |
| 50 |
loading. If the module for the Intel NIC is loaded first it becomes |
| 51 |
eth0, the next NIC whose module is loaded becomes eth1 and so on. |
| 52 |
If you have your drivers built into the kernel then the names are |
| 53 |
related to the PCI slots - the NIC connected to the PCI with lowest |
| 54 |
number become eth0 and so on. So you could change their places on the |
| 55 |
main board. |
