Hi,
my ArchLinux has a strange behavior regarding the interface to use to connect to the net (ethernet card, dhcp):
sometimes the right interface is eth0, sometimes it's eth1. I "solved" the problem adding both interfaces to my rc.conf:
INTERFACES=(lo eth0 eth1)
this way one of the two interface (the "choice" seems to be "taken" randomly) fails at startup, of course.
I could live with that, but it seems a somewhat ugly solution to me. I'm wondering if I configured something wrong or if that's a bug?
Here's some info about my system:
Kernel 2.6.22-suspend2
Acer Aspire 1500 laptop
Network card : Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5788
There's a FireWire - it uses an eth interface too, right?
thanks in advance

I wondered whether someone will run into this funny problem:D
Compiling drivers for both cards into kernel may fix your problem.
Alternatively you may try adding modules for these cards in MODULES in /etc/rc.conf. It may also require adding them to MOD_BLACKLIST.
