Hi all, I swapped a Realtek 8139 100M Net Card for a Realtek 8169 Gig Net card in a Centos 5.6 system. After reconfiguring the network settings I find that on boot up the 8169 interface does not start. The startup script says something like "The 8169 is not available..." ifconfig -a shows a device with the right mac address called __tmpsomethingorother I can get it going if I remod the r8169 driver and load it again. Then ifup eth1 works. There's also a Marvell 88E8056 on the motherboard. /var/log/messages shows the 8169 as eth0 and the Marvell as eth1 but when the network is finally up they are the other way round. ifcfg-eth0 has the mac address of the Marvell in it and ifcfg-eth1 doesn't have a mac address in it. Should I wipe those scripts and start again? I've put a nasty bodge in rc.local for the moment to make the startup work.
