Package: udev
Version: 0.076-6
Severity: normal
Until about a month ago (note: I upgrade Debian unstable every few
days) udev used to reliably rename my network interfaces, but no
longer does so. When I boot the machine my 2 network interfaces have
their default names of eth0 and eth1 rather than my preference of lan0
and wlan0. A similar thing happens when I suspend (and unload
modules) and resume (and reload modules). Later, if I remove a single
module (tg3 or ipw2200) manually and reload it then the relevant
interface is correctly renamed. This points to a race condition,
since the machine is more heavily loaded at boot or resume time.
My rules look like this:
/etc/udev/rules.d/z00_local.rules:
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="net", SYSFS{address}=="00:12:f0:81:05:d3", \
NAME="wlan0"
#ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="net", SYSFS{address}=="00:11:25:15:a7:ba", \
# NAME="lan0"
#KERNEL="eth*", SYSFS{address}="00:12:f0:81:05:d3", NAME="wlan0"
KERNEL="eth*", SYSFS{address}="00:11:25:15:a7:ba", NAME="lan0"
As you can see, I have 2 different styles of rules, but neither style
works reliably. I'm pretty sure this file used to have a different
name that put it at the end of the list of rules. However, I renamed
it while trying to solve the current problems.
Since udev is supposed to be able to do interface renaming, and has
done it reliably in the past, I'd like to get it working again instead
of installing some other package to do the job.
Thanks for any idea...
peace & happiness,
martin
