Thank you,
I am trying to make list of needed changes. So - first line of ifcfg-eth* is commented full name of adapter (no sense). Only one think that should be changed is HWADDR. This file is in three directories (/etc/sysconfig/network-script/ifcfg-eth*, /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth* and /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/ifcfg-eth*).
actually, those appear to be links to the same files...
# ls -il /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 2524900 -rw-r--r-- 3 root root 162 Nov 29 2007 ifcfg-eth0 # ls -il /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/ifcfg-eth0 2524900 -rw-r--r-- 3 root root 162 Nov 29 2007 /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/ifcfg-eth0 # ls -il /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth0 2524900 -rw-r--r-- 3 root root 162 Nov 29 2007 /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth0
note the inode# is the same on all three.
Other thing, that should be changed is /etc/modprobe.conf - there should be changed name of driver connected to name of interface. So if I am swapping to Intel´s 1000 family, there should be e1000e.
sysconfig (8) forces the system to run /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit upon reboot. you might take a look at what that script is doing (a fair bit, actually).
