Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] Add more NIC

[Serge L. <ser...@gm...>]

Emil,

'MAC' parameter is optional in DL.

In Red Hat-like distributions network configuration script distinguish NICs
based on HWADDR(MAC) address in the network script, but in DL it has a different
sense: it redefines MAC address.

i.e. 'DEVICE' is paramount parameter: since udev holds the map "device name -
mac address" (and udev makes it on early stage of booting) we can rely on device
names.

I've added a few words about this specific to *.sample file.
