Re: [PLUG] binding eth0 to a specific NIC
|
Doesn't the BIOS play into this and what (PCI) slot the card is plugged
into? I know you changed SW and not HW but I would be curious if you
changed slot positions if this would change the kernel scan order. You may
also be able to change this in the BIOS settings PCI slot assignments.
