Hi,
I run in to this problem: After having some hardware issues I restore a backup off my V9 installation on a new machine, it's similar but it has a one different network card.
After a clean install, before restoring the backup, everything is fine, I can accesss the webadmin on the primary onboard nic. After the backup the network cards seem to have been messed up:
1) what was once the WAN side NIC has become my LAN nic, I am able to access the box on this interface.
2) the old LAN nic is down, no matter what I plug in to it, the state in the webadmin remains down.
3) when logging on the the console I (with my limited knowledge of linux) am able to run ifconfig, it only shows eth1, eth0 is not there!
4)mii-diag eth0 gives me "SIOCGMIIPHY on eth0 failed: invallid argument"
so, I'm left with a restored backup that I just can not use... Which in effect is just a good as having no backup at all... I'll have to start rebuilding the entire thing from scratch.
Suggestion: Wouldn't it be nice it the restore backup procedure had some more steps where I could choose what to restore, or atleast how to map the interfaces...
