Question; will the following work reliably? IANAD (I Am Not A
Developer) which is why I'm asking.
* on a machine with multiple network cards *ALL USING DIFFERENT DRIVERS*
* drivers are built as modules, not built-in into the kernel
* is it possible to set things up so that the network driver modules do
not load automatically at bootup?
* have a script in /etc/local.d/ (or wherever) modprobe the drivers in
the desired order
I can see complications involving services that depend on net (e.g.
sshd), but in general, would it work reliably? I.e. would the order of
initial modprobe'ing determine the device names (eth/0/1/2/etc)?
