It's about all I can do because my understanding of how udev works is sparse. Continuing: 8. Observed there was a file, tmp-rules--70-persistent-net.rules, in /run/udev. It had entries for the machine's two interfaces. 9. Updated the install, did a dist-upgrade and installed systemd. Deleted 70-persistent-net.rules and rebooted with init=/bin/systemd. 70-persistent-net.rules is not present afterwards. 10. Installed systemd-sysv and rebooted. 11. The 'ifconfig -a' output (without the 'lo' entry), is eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:40:f4:72:4e:e1 BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:19:d1:4d:2a:70 inet addr:192.168.7.213 Bcast:192.168.7.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::219:d1ff:fe4d:2a70/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:433 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:36 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:44734 (43.6 KiB) TX bytes:3036 (2.9 KiB) Interrupt:21 Memory:dffe0000-e0000000 12.

There is a tmp-rules--70-persistent-net.rules file containing the missing (e1000e) interface. The result above isn't obtained consistently; sometimes both interfaces are shown and there is no tmp-rules file. Coincidentally it seems to happen when the network cable to e1000e is unattached. I have no idea what significance, if any, is to be attached to these data. However, I'm now inclined to view the bugs in CUPS as more tractable. :) Regards, Brian. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
