Re: Another Network Manager Stupidity: Swapping eth0 and eth1

["Darren Albers" <dalbers gmail com>]

I don't think this is Network Manager, it does not touch that as far as I am aware of.  I have seen this problem in Ubuntu and I think it was a bug in hotplug that caused it to swap.  The bug was filed in 
Launchpad.net so maybe if you can find it there you will find more information and a possible fix for Fedora?

I have just found what may be another Network Manager (NM)
stupidity. I have two NICs on my laptop
(http://www.charlescurley.com/Lenovo.R51.html) running Fedora Core
5. One is a wired Ethernet interface, the other a wireless Ethernet
interface. In system-config-network, I have anchored eth0 and eth1 to
specific MAC addresses.

I recently switched from using the usual configuration tools to NM. I
just found out is that NM seems to be ignoring that MAC address
anchoring. It has swapped eth0 and eth1. As a result of this the
firewall defined by firestarter does not work, and as a result of that
my system is wide open and has been for several days.
