NIC Device Names
In a system using the Linux operating system without an optional PCI-X NIC card installed, the
integrated NICs are assigned device names eth0 and eth1. However, if you install a PCI-X NIC card, the
card's NIC port is assigned device name eth0 (a dual-port card will be assigned device names eth0 and
eth1) and the integrated NICs will be assigned subsequent numbers. The designations are assigned in the
order of the PCI bus scan.

information on the System Setup program.)
