Description David Archer 2003-02-13 05:52:30 UTC
Description of problem:

I have a machine with two different networking cards using 2 different drivers.
One is for an internal network using 10.x.x.x addresses and the other connected
to the internet via a cable modem. When the machine boots eth0 comes up then
eth1 fails. If you then switch the drivers in the /etc/modules.conf file, switch
the internet cables, and execute a "/etc/init.d/network restart" everything
works fine and the machine can route between the two networks, and I can reach
the internet just fine.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:

Every reboot causes the problem.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Reboot the machine
2.
3.
    
Actual results:
?

Expected results:
?

Additional info:

This is a serious annoyance, granted I don't reboot very often, but when I have
to reboot I don't want to go through this procedure.
