Here are the rules I've used before (anonymized a bit):
KERNEL=="eth*", SYSFS{address}=="xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx", NAME="eth0"
KERNEL=="eth*", SYSFS{address}=="xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx", NAME="eth1"
This CANNOT work!
If eth0 is taken by something, you cannot assign it again by such rules, so
all of them will fail.
Give your devices descriptive names:
eth_lan0
eth_wlan0
eth_fw0
Wow, thanks for that bit of info. I had done exactly that at one point
thinking this same-naming issue might be an issue. But the wireless
card broke badly at that point (later it turned out to be a non-related
issue, but that certainly wasn't apparent at the time).
I do now have names like "eth-lan", "eth-fw", etc., for my devices and
the renaming seems to be working fine (as I indicated elsewhere).
So I was doing two things wrongly:
1. didn't give the udev config the right HW address for my wireless card
(still not sure why that was the case)
2. attempted to rename eth* devices with poorly chosen names.
Thanks,
Rick Reynolds
