Please add your local configuration (ifcfg-* files) and e.g. "ifconfig"/"lsmod". regards, Florian La Roche proper configuration would bind the interface "eth?" to the device via HWADDR in the ifcfg-* file or via the system-config-network GUI. This request was evaluated by Red Hat Engineering for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release. As this bug has been in NEEDINFO for an extended period of time we are going to close this bug due to inactivity. If you would like to persue this matter feel free to reopen this bug and attach the needed information. With the goal of minimizing risk of change for deployed systems, and in response to customer and partner requirements, Red Hat takes a conservative approach when evaluating enhancements for inclusion in maintenance updates for currently deployed products. The primary objectives of update releases are to enable new hardware platform support and to resolve critical defects. However, Red Hat will further review this request for potential inclusion in future major releases of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. |

Actual Results: MAC address for eth1 gets broadcast as being associated with the IP address of eth0 Expected Results: each interface should have one IP/MAC pair. Additional info: [root@web ~]# grep eth /etc/modprobe.conf alias eth0 tg3 alias eth1 e1000
