I've a Tyan S4882 with a Broadcom Dual NIC controller on Board.The NIC module "tg3" loads so far but assigns the ethernet devices (eth0/eth1) randomly to the NICs.[...] Any help/suggestions ?If it really does it randomly, you could simply repeatedly start and stop the driver until it gets them the right way around. On average, it'll take you only two attempts (the worst case is pretty bad 8-)
Yes it really does it randomly and I already thought about such script... but it may take 2, 3 or in the case of bad luck a lot more tries. Howeven, the same as with the ifupdown suggestion, I feel that this would NOT be the right way. It sounds like Win~1 solution "If it's not working, simply boot (reload) again, you may have luck then" ;)
