Hi,
I installed 4 NICs. With ifconfig I can see eth0/eth1/eth2/eth3
But which one belongs to which card? Where can I check this?
Also, how can I check on console whether a link on eth0/eth1/eth2/eth3 is down or up?
thanks in advance

mii-tool for both questions.
Plug a cable in to one network card, then check with mii-tool which eth has "link up", plug the cable to another card, wash, rinse and repeat
EDIT: mii-tool is in the net-tools package

ifconfig can show the link status also

Well, how?

ifconfig -a
in the line containing
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU: ....
The word RUNNING tells you that card is connected.

The problem is that the name may change for the cards, eth0 now may be eth3 on next reboot I believe ..... I guess you have to load the modules manually and then everything will always be the same (unless I'm wrong that is).
