Can I see the contents of your ifcfg-eth0 and ifcfg-eth1 files? [brad@satsuki network-scripts]$ cat ifcfg-eth0 # Intel Corporation 82801CAM (ICH3) PRO/100 VE (LOM) Ethernet Controller USERCTL=yes DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=dhcp HWADDR=00:09:6B:CD:2B:87 ONBOOT=no DHCP_HOSTNAME=satsuki.geekdome.net TYPE=Ethernet [brad@satsuki network-scripts]$ cat ifcfg-eth1 # AIRONET Wireless Communications Cisco Aironet Wireless 802.11b USERCTL=yes DEVICE=eth1 BOOTPROTO=dhcp HWADDR=00:02:8A:A6:30:43 ONBOOT=no #DHCP_HOSTNAME=satsuki.geekdome.net NETMASK= DHCP_HOSTNAME= IPADDR= DOMAIN= TYPE=Wireless ESSID= CHANNEL= MODE= RATE= I have several other ifcfg-* files that I use for different profiles, but none of them have onboot set to yes and all of the are associated with the correct hwaddr: [brad@satsuki network-scripts]$ for i in $(grep -li eth0 ifcfg-*); do grep -i hwaddr $i ; done HWADDR=00:09:6B:CD:2B:87 HWADDR=00:09:6B:CD:2B:87 HWADDR=00:09:6B:CD:2B:87 HWADDR=00:09:6B:CD:2B:87 [brad@satsuki network-scripts]$ for i in $(grep -li eth1 ifcfg-*); do grep -i hwaddr $i ; done HWADDR=00:02:8A:A6:30:43 HWADDR=00:02:8A:A6:30:43 HWADDR=00:02:8A:A6:30:43 HWADDR=00:02:8A:A6:30:43 HWADDR=00:02:8A:A6:30:43 HWADDR=00:02:8A:A6:30:43 HWADDR=00:02:8A:A6:30:43 Please try the updates-testing initscripts and kudzu. Note that 'alias XXX' in modprobe.conf isn't really used any more. We have this same problem with a tg3 and an rt8152 card. It RANDOMLY picks one at boot time to use as eth0/1. How do we enforce a particular order if modprobe.conf isn't used any longer? Add HWADDR= lines to your ifcfg files, and make sure you're running the latest updates. And if we're duplicating drive images for thousands of machines? We have to individually set the HWADDR lines on each image by hand? This breaks the behavior of all previous versions of redhat/fedora (we've been using it since RedHat 7.3). Then open up a bug against udev - there is very little initscripts can do in this matter other than attempt to clean up afterwards with the HWADDR code. Thanks Bill; there's already one there (bug 212869) Closing; mismatches when HWADDR is present should be fixed with the current errata initscripts/kudzu. |
My Thinkpad T30 has an onboard wired ethernet card using the e100 driver and an onboard wireless card using the airo driver. Despite the fact that modprobe.conf aliases eth0 to the wired card and eth1 to the wireless, upon being loaded during boot it consistently grabs eth0. If I load the e100 driver manually, it takes over eth0, but even then the airo driver does not take eth1. In order to have networking function properly I have to manually reload both drivers every time I boot. Here is some illustrative information: [brad@satsuki ~]$ uname -r 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 [brad@satsuki ~]$ grep '\(e100\|airo\)' /etc/modprobe.conf alias eth0 e100 alias eth1 airo [brad@satsuki ~]$ cat ~/Notes/mac_addrs eth0: 00:09:6B:CD:2B:87 # built-in wired eth1: 00:02:8A:A6:30:43 # built-in wireless [brad@satsuki ~]$ ifconfig eth0 # Note: Wrong mac addr eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:09:6B:CD:2B:87 inet6 addr: fe80::209:6bff:fecd:2b87/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:14 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:4001 (3.9 KiB) [brad@satsuki ~]$ ifconfig eth1 eth1: error fetching interface information: Device not found [brad@satsuki ~]$ sudo grep airo /var/log/dmesg # wireless driver airo(): Probing for PCI adapters airo(eth0): Found an MPI350 card airo(eth0): WPA unsupported (only firmware versions 5.30.17 and greater support WPA.
