| |
I've got an Asus P2B-L mobo, which has an integrated eepro100, and an DEC Tulip PCI card. I've been running 2.2.16. To use a new ATA/100 card I tried 2.4-test10-pre3.
All worked well, indeed very well, except 2.4 switched eth0 and eth1 from 2.2.x. That is, the Tulip became eth0, rather than eth1 and the eepro100 became eth1.
It took me a looong time to figure out the problem. I spent hours figuring I had driver trouble. Once seen, easily fixed. But even then, it's a pain to boot 2.2.x.
Now I find that ether= won't work for PCI cards ( the Ethernet HOWTO needs to be corrected )!!
This is an odd sort of bug ( feature? ) that will drive users of multi-nic machines nuts when 2.4 is rolled out. Hopefully it's only for my sort of setup.
