<div dir="ltr">ifconfig and ethtool had somehow managed to will an eth3 into existence without and ifcfg-eth3 file. Weird.

(Made sure it stayed up.)<div><br></div><div>Mike B</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Apr 7, 2016 at 10:00 PM, <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:foo7775@comcast.net" target="_blank">foo7775@comcast.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div style="font-family:Arial;font-size:12pt;color:#000000"><div>Yeah, I could see that raising an eyebrow...
