My understanding is that the persistent net rules are about getting a
fixed name for interfaces when the module loading or detection order
might result in misnamed interfaces. I've seen this part of udev
causing trouble in other cases where multiple interfaces avec the same
MAC (e.g. madwifi's ath0 / wlan0), and I think this is another case of
this. However, VLAN interfaces names are controlled by /proc
parameters, and hence probably don't need this help from udev.
Hence, I'm reassigning to udev; @Marco: do you confirm this looks like
an udev bug and it should not attempt to rename VLAN interfaces? Or
perhaps it tries to rename them to the wrong name and could rename them
properly?
(You're welcome to reassign it back to vlan if you think it can
implement a better fix.)
I expect this to break vlan support during upgrades after the first
reboot, so this bug might be serious, but since it's the first one and
I don't completely understand how udev is supposed to handle this, I'm
leaving this at severity "important".
Bye,
