I am also affected by this bug. I have an HP ML110 G7 server with an Intel Gigabit ET Quad Port Server Adapter.
The on-board interfaces are always named correctly (em0 and em1), however the interfaces on the NIC aren't. There's normally three named p2p# (which are sometimes incorrect in that p2p1 may actually be p2p3) and one interface named rename#. This feels very much like a race condition; once the system is booted up I am able to remove and re-add the kernel module as follows: sudo modprobe -r igb sudo modprobe igb All of my interfaces are thereafter named correctly, until the next reboot. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1284043 Title: udev renaming the same hardware network i/f to different name, breaks networking and firewall To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/biosdevname/+bug/1284043/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
