I think you have to make sure that the interface is named reliably using some other property. If I understand the persistent-net-generator.rules in /etc/udev correctly, it will leave interfaces alone if a name has already been set for them. A brute force approach would be to comment out the following two lines in /etc/udev/persistent-net-generator.rules: KERNEL=="eth*|ath*|wlan*|ra*|sta*", DRIVERS=="?*",\ IMPORT{program}="write_net_rules $attr{address}" I am not sure if that is a good idea, though. -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
