[gentoo-user] eth0/eth1 detected, but "wired" network is eth1...

[Jarry]

Hi,

I tried to install gentoo on my notebook using x86-minimal-2006.0.iso.
I defined eth0 as usuall, but I could not ping to any IP inside/outside
my lan...

Then I went back to boot-messages and found out there are eth0 and eth1
detected! Very probably my 10/100/1000Mbit ethernet is eth1, because
when I defined IP for eth1, everything works...

But what is eht0, wifi? Can I somehow change network detection so that
eth0 is wired-ethernet, and eth1 "that other network" (probably wifi)???

Most likely eth0 is your wifi card.  You can write udev rules to set
whatever device names you want.  For example:

# wireless
DRIVER=="ipw2100", NAME="wlan"

Or based on MAC addresses:

KERNEL=="eth*", SYSFS{address}=="00:11:22:33:44:55", NAME="eth0"
KERNEL=="eth*", SYSFS{address}=="11:22:33:44:55:66", NAME="eth1"

HTH...

It could also be firewire if you have net1394 set in your kernel

udev rules are the way to go, it's how I keep my three interfaces (wired,
wireless and IEEE1394) consistently named.

All right, set phasers to deep fat fry!
