im having problems installing my nic card. my eth1 keep on renaming randomly to dev****. whenever i change the ifcfg network scripts at sysconfig and reboot, the nic tends to renamed randomly. i have tried changing this thing from davicom to 3com nic's.
dev6278 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:01:02:91:01:6D BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) Interrupt:11 Base address:0xdf00
any one experienced this already? suggestions are highly recommended. thanks guys!

IIRC, this is a common problem when multiple NICs are in place. IIRC, one way is to include params in /etc/modules.conf (used to be - now modprob.conf?). But an easier way, I think is to modify
/etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/ifcfg-eth0/
to include something like
HWADDR=00:01:80:3B:58:A9
replacing the hexidecimal numbers with the MAC address of your card.
I think this new-fangled GUI stuff has a way to do it with a panel.

BTW, this is the same file I now see is mentioned in the other posts. They are hard-linked.

Does it do the same thing when booted off of a live cd such as Knoppix?

I think Knoppix uses a hardware detection program that creates the stuff in the ramdrive.
