[Solved] eth0 and eth1 work in turn

D4v1d · 2010-06-05 17:28:07

It's strange,

I've a Asus P5Q-E mainboard, with to NIC's (Marvell 88E8056 / 88E8001 Gigabit LAN).
Example:
Now I'm online with eth0, if I reboot eth0 will not work but, if I change my lan-cabel from eth0 to eth1 and restart the network (sudo /etc/rc.d/network restart) it works, after another reboot, the same again, just eth0 interchanged with eth1

It's really annoying to change the lan-cabel everytime you reboot.

I hope you can help me

Best regards D4v1d

You need udev - see the wiki page, there's a section called "Mixed Up Devices...".

This is answered in the wiki, and has been asked at least half a dozen times in the forums every couple of weeks.

PLEASE search the forums before starting your own thread.

D4v1d,

I hate to say it, but you have made a classic blunder. tomk and fukawi2 accurately point out that the answer is out there in the forums and has been answered.

I see you are fairly new to the forum -- You have received a classical response from the forum like that described in this excellent article: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-que … l#id382403

Don't be put off, but do respect the time and effort of those who participate in this forum by doing the research, and, if you did not find a solution, well us what it was you searched for and did not find. That may help us make it more findable in the future.

-- and welcome to the forums.

The search doesn't usually work that well on the forums, it's been suggested to do a google search on the site, "eth0 eth1 switching on boot site:bbs.archlinux.org" would have gotten you some good results.

Once you feel your question has been answered fully, please edit the original post, and prepend '[Solved]' to the title. You can look for that tag in searches too.
