Same here, using kernel 2.6.29-1-686 from unstable.
Old entry in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules was
# PCI device 1039:0900 (sis900)
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*",
SYSFS{address}=="00:0a:e6:d5:5f:99", NAME="eth0"
which led, approximately due to the fact that the SYSFS entry is no more
recognized correctly by udev 0.141-1 to creating a new rule for the same
device
# PCI device 0x1039:0x0900 (sis900)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*",
ATTR{address}=="00:0a:e6:d5:5f:99", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*",
NAME="eth1
and so the network interface was renamed from eth0 to eth1 (which had no
configuration in /etc/network/interfaces), resulting in system starting up
with no valid network interface at all after next reboot.
Isn't it possible to at least deploy a warning message to the user at udev
update, containing a hint that he SHALL review 70-persistent-net.rules for
entries containing deprecated values which may lead to non-working
networking?
