eth1 turned into eth0?

nirk · 2010-04-21 20:57:15

I have Arch on my IBM R50e laptop and since installing it, eth0 was LAN and eth1 was wifi.
Today I tried to connect to my wireless network and got all sorts of errors, I tried scanning with iwlist and saw that I get results only for eth0.

How and why does eth0 & eth1 got confused?

Another bothering thing is that on startup, setting up network pauses the startup process for few seconds, but it doesn't even bring up the wireless interface (maybe with the now name it will be different?)

The wiki's udev page has a solution for the interface name swapping issue.

Have you configured your wifi to be brought up at boot-time? If so, how? There are various implementations available - see Wireless Setup in the wiki for more details.
