Order of interfaces in /proc/net/dev

[Paulo Estrela]

Hi John,

Thanks for your advice, but eth1 and eth2 are from the same
manufacture then they use same module.
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules is also set right, I also
tried to delete it and see if the new generated file will be
different, but nothing changed. I will try ask this on kernel malling
list.

Thanks everyone,

Paulo Estrela
