g14: not really, if all cards uses different drivers(different cards) and are compiled as modules, then yes, otherwise You have problem with this, right ?<br />

on modern systems, You can tell to the udev which card (mac address) is which under system.

Most all modern linux distributions compile network card drivers as modules for this very reason, yes. If he is using Redhat Enterprise, the answer is yes and my solution would work.

Hello,<br />
I have installed some software at work on RH enterprise. &nbsp;However, its license needs to use eth0 and the nic is on eth1. &nbsp;Is it possible to make a ln -s, or switch the nic label. &nbsp;We had to install another card since the one provided was onboard and unsupported.<br />
Thanks.

software needs eth0

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).
