NIC Teaming

[Gerrard Geldenhuis]

I have the same:

alias eth0 bnx2
alias eth1 bnx2
alias eth2 e1000
alias eth3 e1000

my expierence was that by removing hwaddr from the interface config this
aliases would be ignored. I would get randomize order on boot up. I
consistently got random ordering of devices ;-)) I tested this by
rebooting the same server 10 times...

Regards
