The script persistent-net-generator.rules generates the file /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules. There you will see how udev maps a hardware address to a logical interface name such as eth0. Therefore you will need to swap around the names in that file just as you have done in /etc/network/interfaces. -- Liam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
