Comment 3 Pete Zaitcev 2007-03-31 21:25:03 UTC
Tools have to add HWADDR into /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-XXXX,
and create all of them, not just the eth0. This way scripts assign names
correctly. The /etc/mactab does not work anymore in all cases with the
transition away from calling nameif in scripts.


Comment 4 Harald Hoyer 2007-04-05 15:13:52 UTC
HWADDR can be configured in s-c-network. (Bind to MAC Address)

Comment 5 Bernd Bartmann 2007-04-05 16:38:06 UTC
Have you actually read the bug report???

There is only ONE network card in the laptop. This has always been eth0. There
is no need whatsoever that it suddenly becomes eth1 when there then is no eth0
at all.

Comment 6 Harald Hoyer 2007-04-10 08:24:43 UTC
> This is the only network card in the system besides the WLAN interface.

so, you have a WLAN interface, which becomes eth0 ?

Comment 7 Bernd Bartmann 2007-04-10 16:36:47 UTC
No, I have ONE LAN card (Broadcom using the tg3 driver) that is detected as eth0
first but then suddenly becomes eth1. See the dmesg output posted earlier.

There is also a WLAN card (wlan0 / wmaster0 Intel 3945) in the laptop that can
be switched off. Regardless if the WLAN interface is switched off or on then LAN
card  always becomes eth1.

Comment 8 Bug Zapper 2008-04-03 23:52:15 UTC
Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported
against rawhide during the development of a Fedora release that is no
longer maintained. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are
flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer
maintained. If this bug remains in NEEDINFO thirty (30) days from now,
we will automatically close it.

If you can reproduce this bug in a maintained Fedora version (7, 8, or
rawhide), please change this bug to the respective version and change
the status to ASSIGNED. (If you're unable to change the bug's version
or status, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.)

Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled
these issues to this point.

doesn't happen again.

Comment 9 Bug Zapper 2008-05-07 01:23:13 UTC
This bug has been in NEEDINFO for more than 30 days since feedback was
first requested. As a result we are closing it.

If you can reproduce this bug in the future against a maintained Fedora
version please feel free to reopen it against that version.
