configure eth1

The eth0 seems to be working fine, but I can't bring up eth1. It's an
older card, so it _could_ be the card, but it's more likely to be a
configuration issue.

I'm not sure from the following, but it seems that I don't need a module
for the kernel for this card. From the menu: system, administration,
network brings up the network configuration screen, which shows eth1 as
inactive, but can't be enabled. The GUI reports that:

"3c59x device eth1 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization."

But clearly it's present as it's being identified.

Shortly after posting this message I did a clean install of FC5 overnight,
reasoning that to be more expedient. However, I do notice that the
internal NIC, SiS, is now eth1 and the PCI NIC is now eth0, which seems
backwards:

What does it say in /etc/modprobe.conf ?
I installed FC-5 yesterday, and noticed that it reversed eth0 and eth1
on my system.
I edited modprobe.conf ,
and swapped the entries for /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth[01]
(changing the DEVICE=eth0/1 line).
That seemed to correct things.

That is a problem with Linux in general. It is not stable in its assignment
of devices. It depends totally on the order they are processed in which
seems to depend on th ephase of the moon.

Reversed? With respect to what?

You can force the mapping by setting HWADDR to the MAC address
HWADDR=00:11:22:33:44:55
in the appropriate startup scripts. No doubt there is some way to do it
from the GUI.
Works in FC5 for sure; IIRC it was available as far back as FC1 and RH9.

I have been "burned" by that often enough (I'm spoiled by the
decades-old behaviour of HP-UX in this area I guess) that I had to
learn how to use udev to give some stability to my interface names.

I actually have 2 installations of FC-5 on my SCSI desktop.
One has

alias eth0 e100
alias eth1 8139too

in /etc/modprobe.conf ;
the other has these entries reversed.
(I made a number of hardware changes between the two installations.)
