Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ifupdown
This bug applies to Ubuntu 10.04. I have installed the Dell utility
biosdevname and the following /etc/udev/rules.d/86-biosdevname.rules
KERNEL=="eth*", ACTION=="add", PROGRAM="/usr/sbin/biosdevname
--policy=all_ethN -i %k", NAME="%c"
This works fine and well on Ubuntu Hardy and Debian Squeeze. On Ubuntu
Lucid, however, it seems that /etc/init/network-interface.conf grabs the
name originally detected by the kernel and runs ifup on it - and is done
before udev has had a chance to rename the interfaces, which fails when
they are already up. So I end up with a mix of eth0, eth1_rename, etc.,
none of them corresponding to the interface they are supposed to
correspond to.
This issue is a blocker for the deployment of Lucid at my workplace.
