Please define "reverse order", reverse in relation to what? The order in which NICs are detected is determined by the kernel. The installer (through udev) will make sure that the order in which the were detected during installation is preserved on reboot into the target system. AFAIK that is the most we can do. And indeed, you can tune the order if NICs to your liking after the installation has finished by editing the relevant udev configuration file. > Thanks for a great installer! Thank you Allard. Note: the report was never accepted as an installation report because of the "Subject:" line. IMO there is no real need to file it as there were no issues. Cheers, FJP
