Hello

We are running RedHat 7.0 on CA810E with several Intel NICs (2 or 3 =
Ethernet connections). On NIC is onboard and we get one or two Intel PCI =
cards. We would like for commodity to force eth0 to be the onboard NIC =
whatever is the configuration. At the present time , it is always the =
last detected one (either eth1 or eth2) We 've tried several options to =
force the kernel to scan the PCI bus the other way, but we didn't get =
the expected  sequence.
What we would like is something like
Onboard Ethernet controller : eth0
1st PCI NIC : eth1
2nd PCI NIC : eth2 .....

If some one knows the solution ,=20

Best regards
Yves
