The original setup: $ ifconfig -a rl0: flags=8802 mtu 1500 ether 00:e0:29:85:49:b6 media: Ethernet autoselect (10baseT/UTP) status: no carrier rl1: flags=8802 mtu 1500 ether 00:e0:29:85:49:d0 media: Ethernet autoselect (10baseT/UTP) status: no carrier After the cards are switched around in the PCI slots: $ ifconfig -a rl0: flags=8802 mtu 1500 ether 00:e0:29:85:49:d0 media: Ethernet autoselect (10baseT/UTP) status: no carrier rl1: flags=8802 mtu 1500 ether 00:e0:29:85:49:b6 media: Ethernet autoselect (10baseT/UTP) status: no carrier How can I keep rl0 associated with MAC 00:e0:29:85:49:b6 and rl1 associated with MAC 00:e0:29:85:49:d0 and still be able to add cards or move them around?
