[Devil-Linux-discuss] Ethernet Ordering

[Bradlee L. <bra...@gm...>]

How does devil linux decide how to order the ethernet devices? I've
installed it on about 10 servers, and it does it the same way every
time:
Physical    Device
1               eth2
2               eth3
3               eth0
4               eth1
5               eth7
6               eth6
7               eth5
8               eth4

The mac addresses seem to be in the order of the physical location,
and Finnix (which I use to install Devil) seems to get it right every
time. It could be the difference in the kernel from 2.4 to 2.6.
