[K12OSN] hub vs. switch at eth0

[John Baillie]

Hello,

The old way to do this was add an alias in modules.conf but this has 
changed.

One of these methods might work for you.

Go to:
/etc/sysconfig/networking/devices
inside you should see a file for each nic. Edit each file to change eth0 
to eth1 and then eth1 to eth0.

restart your network
service network restart
and verify
 
Or from the network gui:

Go to the hardware tab
double click one of the nics
change the device to fit your needs

save changes, restart network.
