The fact is that udev renamed the NIC. For the average Joe with one NIC (very large percentage of users) this is a non sequitur. For those of us with 2 or more NICs, myself included, we have already setup our systems to use multiple NICs for a purpose and configured the system so that nothing can/will/needs to rename subsequent NICs. My point is don't say "the new kernel naming scheme of NICs", say "the new systemd naming scheme of NICs". -- Happy Penguin Computers >') 126 Fenco Drive ( \ Tupelo, MS 38801 ^^ supp...@happypenguincomputers.com 662-269-2706 662-205-6424 http://happypenguincomputers.com/ A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
