Hi,

I have got a problem with a Supermicro 1U rack server. It has two 
onboard eepro100 cards. I only use one of them. Till now I configure the 
card like:

modprobe eepro100
ifconfig eth0 1.1.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up...

My problem ist that I can not say which of the two cards I want to 
configure as eth0. So it is possible that it is the left or the right 
one. Is there any way i can make sure which cards is used for eth0 like 
using the PCI address from lspci?

many thanks in advance,
