Re: Setting up the network interface on Linux domU

[Damian Sobczak <damian.sobczak%gmail.com@localhost>]

On my Debian installation I have the network interface specified


iface eth2 inet dhcp


but on the Debian domU it's eth16, after each reboot or shutdown it's
a different interface number.


Can I specify e.g on the xen configuration file the right eth interface?



I don't understand, on NetBSD domU works DHCP with bridge, on Linux not.
