[CentOS] network interface question

[Paras pradhan]

Yes I just tested like this..

What i did was:

ifconfig -a gives me logical names such as: __tmp1035166962 , ethX

and ethtool -p __tmp1035166962 makes blinking in the network port.  My
problem is resolved.

Thanks a lot guys. Appreciate it.

Paras.
