This is what I observed and was the reason for me deleting. from linux.dell.com/files/whitepapers/nic-enum-whitepaper-v2.pdf "Changes in system configuration will also result in a different enumeration order. If a new network card is inserted into a PCI slot, its new position could be between two previous network devices. This may result in the new card taking over the name of a previous card in the system. The root cause of NIC enumeration mismatches is that there is currently no industry standard to enable the OS to determine the physical labeling of Ethernet ports on the motherboard." I am not a sysadmin (obviously) and was surprised at what I saw thinking it could not be that way, still things did not match up. Now I think I was if fact seeing straight when I had 3 nics on board and the system appeared to be confused about which was which. Shawn
