in theory, work like this.
more, in 2 opportunity (2 distinct machines) the order of NIC change !!!
mmmm... the suse support not find the "why", more to believe in one upgrade of kernel !!! :-(
now, IMHO, it (the aleatory order of NIC) isn't the bester solution. i have scripts/softwares that to do reference with eth/wlan/ppp[0,1,2] and after the change of NIC, softwares (for example: webalizer) lost the data. :-(
finding in the net, i look two possibility for moment:
1 - use the variables "ETHERDEVICE"...
in the ifup(8) manual page, this variable is recommended only for vlan interfaces.
2 - rename the file name of ifcfg-eth_MAC_OF_NIC for ifcfg-eth[0,1,2].
mmm.. the option 1 work fine, option 2 i don't test !!! ;-)
any observations ???
bye
