Suse router(iptables) network card swap
I have a Suse 9.0 router using iptables for firewalling/routing. External is eth0 and internal is eth1. Recently my onboard eth0 adapter stopped functioning correctly. So I added another network card, eth2.

My question is how do I change the references in the routing to use eth2 as the external adapter? I change all the references in my firewall script but it didn't work.

Where else do I have to do this at? I've tried using nameif/ip to change the name of eth2 to eth0, but it will not do it upon a reboot via /etc/rc.d/S05network.

Any help would be appreciated.

Did you disable your Onboard nic in the bios. Even if it is not working you should still disable it in the bios. There should be an option to do it.

That's another issue as there isn't an option in the BIOS to disable the NIC. It's an IBM NetVista. There is a BIOS upgrade, but I don't want to compound my problems with a BIOS upgrade
