Re: [CentOS] How to change NIC alias?

Hello all. I'm installing CentOS 4.4 over a PC with 3 ethernet cards, one onboard (gigabit) and the another two discrete PCI. During installation I have no choice to control who will be eth0, eth1 and eth2, but I need that eth0 be the onboard ethernet. In the end of the installation, it turned out to be one of the discrete ethernet eth0. I need to change that alias, so that the actual eth0 become eth1 and vice versa. Thanks a lot

Modify the "/etc/modprobe.conf" files to reflect the drivers you wish to use for each interface. Also change the "HWADDR" directive in the interface configuration files which are located in "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts" to match accordingly.
