hello, I am running fedora 4 2.6.15-1.1830_FC4smp
I am having problems adding a second RTL-8169 G GB Nic card
when the system boots it says "can not change name of eth2 to eth1 file exists
does not even try to install load eth2
on the ifconfig -a (see below) there is a device dev5036 . Not sure what that is
Thanks for any help

You have added the second adapter but not added an alias line here. Thus it is trying to load the driver r8169 and reassign eth1 to the second instance of that but fails because it is already used.
My suggestion: 1. copy /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth2. 2. Edit the new file and change the device name and IP address 3. Edit /etc/modprobe.conf to add a new alias for eth2 alias eth2 r8169 4. Reboot and see if that fixes things.
You can look at the output of dmesg to see what devices are detected/configured during boot (and also a lot of detail in /var/log/messages).

Does this MAC address match the second adapter you are trying to install? It looks very similar to the MAC for eth1.

What about the contents of ifcfg-eth0 and ifcfg-eth1 The only thing different in my file than yours above is that I have BOOTPROTO=none where you have BOOTPROTO=static
I am not sure it is important, but it is a difference. I am more inclined to think it is something else in the files above and we need to see all 3 at the same time to tell.
Also please send the output of an "ifconfig" command as well.

I suspect it is now an error in the ifcfg-ethX files. Send the listing of all 3 and lets look at them.
All 3 devices were created as seen from the output of dmesg and in /var/log/messages.

What about the contents of ifcfg-eth0 and ifcfg-eth1 The only thing different in my file than yours above is that I have BOOTPROTO=none where you have BOOTPROTO=static
I am not sure it is important, but it is a difference. I am more inclined to think it is something else in the files above and we need to see all 3 at the same time to tell.
Also please send the output of an "ifconfig" command as well.

BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! still no work ARG!
i still get the error can not change name of eth2 to eth1 file exists and
R8169 device eth2 does not seem to be present
Any other suggestions
I suspect it is now an error in the ifcfg-ethX files. Send the listing of all 3 and lets look at them.
All 3 devices were created as seen from the output of dmesg and in /var/log/messages.

#====================================================== cat /etc/modprobe.conf alias eth1 r8169 alias scsi_hostadapter ata_piix alias usb-controller ehci-hcd alias usb-controller1 uhci-hcd alias ieee1394-controller ohci1394 alias eth0 8139too
You have added the second adapter but not added an alias line here. Thus it is trying to load the driver r8169 and reassign eth1 to the second instance of that but fails because it is already used.
My suggestion:
- copy /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth2. 2. Edit the new file and change the device name and IP address 3. Edit /etc/modprobe.conf to add a new alias for eth2 alias eth2 r8169 4. Reboot and see if that fixes things.
You can look at the output of dmesg to see what devices are detected/configured during boot (and also a lot of detail in /var/log/messages).

Try commenting out the line "HWADDR=00:0E:2E:65:8C:B4" in ifcfg-eth1 and see if that helps. Do not be surprised if the new card becomes eth1 and the old eth1 becomes eth2. After you have the new card working, you can play with HWADDR to get the right card working with the right interface.
I don't know if Fedora supports /etc/iftab, but if it does, you can use it to get the correct device to the correct card. Something like:
eth0 mac 00:08:A1:7D:7A:A2 eth1 mac 00:0E:2E:65:8C:B4 eth2 mac 00:0E:2E:65:8C:??
You will have to get the correct MAC address for the new card. It will be close to the one for the other RTL-8169...
Two more points - please trim your posts, and stop top posting when you reply to messages on the list.

You may want to take a look at /etc/iftab to make sure you are not trying to map eth1 to 2 different MAC addresses. If that is ok, then post /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 and ifcfg-eth2. There are options you can put in there that can cause problems.

i do not have a /etc/iftab
