Thread: new nic, strange problems

hi.

installed new nic on server, , plan run box router.
odd thing happens, when boot system may take long time start.
when running ifconfig neither eth0 nor eth1 appears.

uname -a

code:

linux server910 2.6.31-19-generic #56-ubuntu smp thu jan 28 01:26:53 utc 2010 i686 gnu/linux

if wipe /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules , boot brings 1 of cards.

lshw -c network

code:

i've removed dhcp3-server , reverted to:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

and
auto ethx
iface ethx inet dhcp

on both devices in /etc/network/interfaces

ifconfig -a

code:

any ideas how solve issue? rtl card new nic. stated earlier if don't wipe
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules either no card gets "started", or one. odd thing
@ on couple of boots swaps gets started. , interface may odd names such as
eth1_renamed , a<something>_eth1/0.


dmesg | grep eth

i can try getting info when wacked, compared when 1 card up.
pointers appreciated.

ok when starting without wipe ifconfig shows lo interface.
1 thing that's strange here 2 cards given
same mac address in both cases(!!!).

ifconfig -a shows

any bright ideas? i'm kind of blank myself here, haven't heard of /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules until googling solution. how thing work? thought obvious bind interfacenames mac addresses, , file that.

, might add old nvidia nic on asus m4n78-se board, , new nic cnet prog-2000s.
