hi:

suppose I haev two NIC on one machine, how can I tell which NIC is eth0,
which NIC is eth1?

Thanks,

sun bo

Use linuxconf. There must be some way to do it.
You can set kernel mode, like ne(ne2000clone) with eth0 or eth1.

give the command /sbin/ifconfig eth0 down
then the lite behind the network card should go off ,that way u can mark the
card and go ahead.
I am having an Intel Ether Express Pro LAN Card ,and the above technique
works just fine for me,

Lemme know if that works for u

Thanx

The ifconfig command will display the MAC address.  You can then
compare with the MAC address printed on the NIC.

ping 255.255.255.255 -I <local interface adress>

Watch the blinking lights.

I know what I'm doing... can you please teach me?

Hi!,

Won't the "link integrity" light still be alive even if you issue a
'/sbin/ifconfig eth0 down' ?

See ya
