[gentoo-user] change eth0 to eth1 and viceversa

[Marco Calviani]

Hi list,
   i'm running a laptop with an ethernet card and a wireless one.
Currently the ethernet is eth1 and the wireless is eth0. How to
reverse this situation, that is to have

eth0 ethernet card
eth1 wireless

Many thanks in advance for the help,
MC

If you're using udev, see 
http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html#example-iface about how 
to give any name you want to a network interface.

HTH...

If you compile the drivers as modules and put them in /etc/ 
modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6, you can set the order by listing the  
normal ethernet card's module first. At least I think so :)

unfortunately this is not true, since the modules in that files are
loaded in order ethernet --> wireless ......

many thanks for your indication. I've used that nice "howto" some time
ago for configuring an external drive... but i forgot that nice
section on net cards.....
Now it works good, although i do not understand why it changed.....

Best regards,
MC
