PE 1950 NIC order switching problem fixed by BIOS 1.3.7?

[Faris Raouf]

Um...can someone clear something up for me? Is this related to the issue
where eth0 is the nic numbered 1, and eth1 is the nic numbered 0 (on the
back panel) or is this something else entirely? I'm only asking because I
don't want to update the bios at some point in the future and find I lose
contact with the server.

Or is it something else entirely that I've not noticed?

I'm using Centos 4 (4.5) 64bit with Virtuozzo on a 1950.

While not exactly an answer to your question, both current RHEL5 and RHEL4
has the issue "fixed" in OS. This does not require you to use any patches or
work-arounds.
