How do I change my [tag]network[/tag] card being called “devXXXX” instead of “ethX”?
The most common cause of this problem is when a new network interface inserted and configured before running kudzu. To fix the problem run kudzu and then modify the device entry in the /etc/sysconfig/hwconf file.
For example:
class: NETWORK
bus: PCI
detached: 0
device: dev25945
driver: e1000
desc: "Intel Corporation 82546EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper)"
network.hwaddr: 00:11:22:33:44:55
vendorId: 8086
deviceId: 1010
subVendorId: 8086
subDeviceId: 1012
pciType: 1
pcidom: 0
pcibus: 10
pcidev: 1
pcifn: 0
Change device: dev25945 to the next available ethX device. For example: device: eth2
After the /etc/sysconfig/hwconf file has been corrected, please change the device name in the /etc/modprobe.conf file.
For example: alias ethX xxxxxx
Again, you are require to update /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX.
