How to prevent Firewire IEEE1394 to become eth0

[rduke15]

Hi,

I installed 3.7 on my harddrive, and my firewire card is detected as a network interface, assigned eth0 and added to the routing table. The real network card receives eth1, and since both are in the routing table I have to manually remove eth0 from the route after every boot.

How can I tell Knoppix to NOT consider the Firewire as an Ethernet interface? I guess I should prevent it from loading the eth1394 module, but how can I do this (without simply deleting the module)?

Thanks,

RD

the nofirewire cheatcode might be what you are looking for.

Unfortunately, I don't think so. As I sais in the other forum:

I don't want to disable firewire altogether. Only prevent it to become an Ethernet interface. I still want to use it for hard disks and DVD.

Solved by adding

eth1394

to /etc/hotplug/blacklist

This did not work for me - I still get a phantom eth0. Is there anything else I should try?
