Does anyone have a favorite howto or other succinct document that that describes how to set up networking on a multi-nic host when you don't know ahead of time which nic is which? I usually muddle through it by plugging in one wire at a time, using mii-tool to see which link is up, then ifconfig on that interface to get the HWaddr to put in the corresponding /etc/sysconfig/network-scipts/ifcfg-eth? file. But now I need to train some other people how to do it and it seems like there should be a better way.
