let us know how it goes

I had this problem too.

Excutive Summary: I think it is caused by the kernel firewire ethernet driver being assigned eth0, and thus your nic gets eth1. I think two ways to fix this are disable firewire (IE1394) network stuff in the kernel or change boot scripts to use eth1. Heres the quick and dirty on the boot script, well its not so dirty.

Stop eth0 script from loading

Code: Select all

# rc-update del net.eth0

Copy script for new name

Code: Select all

# cp /etc/init.d/net.eth0 /etc/init.d/net.eth1

Edit/add the config

# nano /etc/conf.d/net
Change iface_eth0="dhcp" to iface_eth1="dhcp"

Add new script to boot

Code: Select all

# rc-update add net.eth1 default

Well at least it worked for me.

What cooljoe2003 said is exactly what I went through. Thats the solution that I used in the end as well.

Rodent, it's better to link net.eth1 to net.eth0 than to copy it. If it is linked, and net.eth0 is updated for any reason later on, net.eth1 will automatically be updated also. With copy it will not update, and could be cause of a hard to find problem.
