hi, i have machines here with 2 ethernet cards each. the card that is inseted in the PCI Exp. slot always detected as eth0 and the one onboard eth1 except on the machine where i have 3 NICs. there the onboard gets eth0, PCI exp. NIC as eth1 and the last one inserted in normal PCI slot as eth2.
how does OS decides which card to call eth0 or so on?
depends on the bios, but you can change the order by configuring your modules.conf or conf.modules file
