Hello,

I just add an adapter ( PCI NIC ) for the test :

/etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf
alias eth0 8139too ( a new one )
alias eth1 r8169

Then /etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart :
[root at svr1 ~]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart
Shutting down interface eth0: [ OK ]
Shutting down loopback interface: [ OK ]
Bringing up loopback interface: [ OK ]
Bringing up interface eth0: [ OK ]
Bringing up interface eth1: r8169 device eth1 does not seem to be
present, delaying initialization.
[FAILED]
[root at svr1 ~]#

BTW /var/log/messages :
kernel : udev: renamed network interface eth0 to eth1

So, is there any solution for these two points problem ?

Thanks !

Edward.
