[PLUG] eth0 eth2 naming question

[Adrienne Davis]

Carla:

That's odd.  You're right the kernel should configure it as eth1.  If you do an ifconfig is there an eth1? Has there ever been?

Cheers

chip is eth0, and the PCI card comes up as eth2, which seems a little odd, 
shouldn't the kernel call it eth1? Is there a config file somewhere that 
controls this, or is it just a quirk of the PCI bus? It's Kubuntu with a 
2.6.12-10-386 kernel, if that makes any difference.
