Hello,
I have an usb ethernet adapter in my nslu2. I wanted to keep the network
interfaces persistent with udev:
nslu2:~# cat /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules
# This file was automatically generated by the /lib/udev/write_net_rules
# program, probably run by the persistent-net-generator.rules rules file.
#
# You can modify it, as long as you keep each rule on a single line.
# Unknown net device (/class/net/eth0) (ixp400_eth)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTRS{address}=="00:18:39:28:f2:a9",
NAME="eth0"
# USB device 050d:0121 (pegasus)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTRS{address}=="00:05:1b:00:5a:39",
NAME="eth1"
This does not work for me:
nslu2:~# zgrep Belkin /var/log/syslog.1.gz
Aug 25 23:45:49 nslu2 kernel: pegasus 1-1:1.0: eth0, Belkin F5D5050 USB

Ethernet, 00:05:1b:00:5a:39
nslu2:~# grep Belkin /var/log/syslog
Aug 26 18:57:28 nslu2 kernel: pegasus 1-1:1.0: eth1, Belkin F5D5050 USB

nslu2:~#
Actually it worked for a long time reliably, but since the last kernel upgrade
to

I see the interfaces changing.
Does anybody have an idea what could go wrong here?
Thanks,
Rainer
