Title: Static netetwork interface detection
Post by: Јаневски on September 07, 2012, 08:54:21 PM

Hello,

I've noticed that due to the nature of it's structure TinyCoreLinux re-detects network interfaces at each reboot.
In my case, in a multiple ethernet NIC system i am experiencing different NIC detections and assignments when i reboot.

For example, there is eth0 curently binded to the NIC on slot 1 with MAC 00:01:02:03:04:05 and eth1 currently binded to the NIC on slot 2 with MAC 00:01:02:03:04:ff.
On the next reboot there is a big chance that they will be detected the other way around.

I know something about Linux distros in general, however is there a way to bind NICs permanently on TCL?

Thanks in advance.
