Looks like you're right!
From Redhat support:
If you look in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ directory you'll see a number of scripts named ifcfg-eth0, ifcfg-eth1, etc... Inside each of these files you should see a line HWADDR=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx. Pluging in the MAC address for the desired NIC should allow you to specify which card uses which interface. Restart networking and you should be good to go. --- Chuck Anderson <cra@WPI.EDU> wrote:

yes, but that will only assign the right mac to the wrong NIC. eth0 will still be assigned to the "extra" nic port, not the one I want. but thanks for replying.
HWADDR doesn't assign MAC addresses to NICs. It just matches the NIC device with that hardware address.
MACADDR actually reprograms the MAC used by a NIC. _______________________________________________ Wlug mailing list Wlug@mail.wlug.org http://mail.wlug.org/mailman/listinfo/wlug
