I just upgraded to 2.4.18 on debian woody and built my own kernel. In the
past, there was an alias for "tulip" in the modules file. This named my
NIC eth0. In my firewall, it named the NICs eth0 and eth1

In 2.4.18 I cannot seem to find the place to name the NICs. Where can
this be done? It will be a big issue on my firewall as eth0 MUST remain
the external nic.

Thankyou
