Well, this is interesting!
I did not yet install the new version of kudzu. I only removed the entries 
in /etc/sysconfig/hwconf and /etc/modprobe.conf and ran "kudzu -p" and got 
the following:

Now I have eth1 for the second nic without updating kudzu.
I don't know about you but I didn't expect this to happen :-)

Ok. Now still running the old kudzu version without the "-p" switch I get the 
same result as above (eth1). And the following /etc/modprobe.conf:
alias eth0 e1000
alias eth1 e1000
alias usb-controller uhci-hcd
alias usb-controller1 ehci-hcd
alias scsi_hostadapter ata_piix

And it looks nice to me! And it seems that the aliases comes in the right 
order now. My old file had the eth2 alias in the end of the file for some 
reason.

Additionally I get an error message when kudzu exits:
# kudzu
sh: /usr/sbin/netconfig: No such file or directory
sh: /usr/sbin/netconfig: No such file or directory
#

This makes me believe that it is unneccessary to try the new kudzu rpm, 
because with a clean state the old one is generating a good configuration. Or 
what do you think? Maybe there is a bad default state in some config files 
when kudzu runs from the installer.

The only problem I can see is the absence of netconfig in tcs2.0. It was 
present in tcs1.1.

Thanks again,
