duplicated)

This is how I do it when I switch from using a pcmcia network to a
pcmcia wireless. Since my dell has only 1 slot, I need to configure it
to various different settings. (since both wants to be called eth1)

user $ cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 
# Please read /usr/share/doc/initscripts-*/sysconfig.txt
# for the documentation of these parameters.
DEVICE=eth1
case `ifconfig eth1 | sed -ne 's/.*HWaddr *\([^ ]*\) */\1/p'` in
00:60:08:B1:1C:03) 
                . eth-3com;;

00:09:5B:0E:0B:D1)
               . eth-netgear;;

*) echo "Unknown MAC address. Please update ifcfg-eth1"

esac

[ -n "$USERDEVICENAME" ] && echo $DEVICE > /tmp/$USERDEVICENAME
