linuxgeek: [LINUX_Newbies] Re: New to group with QUESTION

So you're going to further elaborate on your total ignorance by quoting Wikipedia to me now are you?

OK riddle me this Batman if an Ethernet adapter isn't a peripheral then how come I have this file?

/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

Which contains the following text in it:

# PCI device 0x10b7:0x9055 (3c59x)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:50:da:c2:72:a5", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0"

Keep digging yourself in deeper rube. I've forgotten more than you'll ever know!
