no support for kernel side predictable interface names where the naming should *really* be happening, eudev will always rename your interfaces with or without USE="rule-generator" to be explicit, eudev will ignore /lib/udev/hwdb.d/20-net-ifname.hwdb, eudev will rename interfaces marked as predictable by the kernel metadata, as in, eudev doesn't contain this commit: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/commit/network/99-default.link?id=04b67d49254d956d31bcfe80340fb9df7ed332d3 in fact, from what I last checked, eudev's networking is at same level with udev-208, from time before the .link support at all eudev is really useful only for sys-libs/musl users at this time, but you are free to experiment with it! - Samuli
