nope, 208 was back when 80-net-name-slot.rules predictable rules were used which ignored kernel metadata for predictable networking i.e. the insufficient implementatition, which got replaced by 99-default.link and 80-net-link-setup.rules what you are referring is the buggy pre-udev-197 networking, which you can unfortunately still get with USE="rule-generator", it will keep renaming your interfaces despite kernel telling not to, so kernel drivers that mark eth0 as stable, might get renamed to eg. eth1 if you have 2 cards it's really messy, only 209 (and higher) handles things right, the new .link setup, with kernel naming support > > >> eudev is really useful only for sys-libs/musl users at this time, but >> you are free to experiment with it! > so lilblue (Anthony's amd64 hardened gentoo) is the only candidate I can > think of with musl?
