Thats a bad choice. Now the man page is not installed on "udev-only" systems, because the package maintainer recognized it as a "systemd" man page. #857270 > > No. net.ifnames=0 will have udev completely ignore NamePolicy here > and not rename the interface at all. > Is there a policy option telling udev/systemd to not touch the interface names? AFAIU that should be easy to implement, but there is no "NamePolicy=keep" described in systemd.link(5) (or I was too blind to see). Regards Harri
