wireless, broadcom, wicd, eth0&eth1 mixing

Hi.

My problem is that every time I turn on my computer eth0 and eth1 are different. So i need to set manually which is cable and which is wireless. I have Broadcome 4322. I read that is with this card normal that this is happening. I also found on wiki how to fix this but it does't work. Does somebody know what should I do?
And sometimes my wireless is not working even if I set eth0 and eth1 manually.

Please be more specific as to what you tried and how it doesn't work. And how your 'wireless is not working even if you set eth0 and eth1 manually'.

I tried exactly this: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bro … leshooting

With manually i mean that in wicd I switch eth1 and eth0. Sometimes it start working when i do that and sometimes not. And sometimes is worikng right away. I don't need to interact.

Do you need both interfaces running? If not, blacklisting the driver for the one you don't need will fix this.

I had this issue with the broadcom wl driver. I just listed the drivers in the modules array of rc.conf, so they load in order, ethernet driver first, wl driver after, and it stopped switching interface names. eth0 is always wired, eth1 always wireless.
