Is there a way to specify the naming on the kernel command line? I found something in google that made me think this might work: ifname=eth0:00:30:48:fc:17:a2 ifname=eth1:00:30:48:fc:17:a3 ifname=eth2:00:e0:ed:1c:ec:e4 ifname=eth3:00:e0:ed:1c:ec:e5 but it doesn't seem to have any affect. I'm using ixgbe and e1000e drivers, loaded as modules, in case that matters. Thanks, Ben -- Ben Greear Candela Technologies Inc http://www.candelatech.com
