I think I have followed the approaches you refer to above; but I was using eth* names and found that about 10% of the time, interface names were scrambled, as you mention in your linked post. I just tried using this /etc/udev/rules.d/10_local_rules (a link to /etc/udev/local_rules): KERNEL=="eth*", SYSFS{address}=="00:40:ca:c0:d9:a6", NAME="ethernet" KERNEL=="eth*", SYSFS{address}=="00:0c:f1:15:c6:e3", NAME="wireless" KERNEL=="eth*", SUBSYSTEM=="ieee1394", NAME="firewire" however, it does not succeed in renaming the interfaces as I expected. Is there something I'm missing? Thanks, John -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
