So here is the effective content of /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules. (The definition of collect follows and is in http://easthope.ca/DebianPage.html .) peter@joule:~$ collect /etc/udev/rules.d/70* SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:1d:7e:00:ee:9f", \ ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="LocLCS1788" SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="e8:94:f6:24:83:52", \ ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="wlan*", NAME="wlan0" SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="a0:f3:c1:0a:28:f7", \ ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="wlan*", NAME="wlan1" LocLCS1788 is present and LocLCS218301788 is absent. Nevertheless, LocLCS218301788 surfaces here. peter@joule:~$ ip link show 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1 link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 2: LocLCS218301788: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DE FAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 00:07:e9:78:a8:b0 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 3: LocLCS1788: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast sta te DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 00:1d:7e:00:ee:9f brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 4: rename4: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT gr oup default qlen 1000 link/ether 00:1d:7e:01:3d:c2 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 5: wlan0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP mode DORM ANT group default qlen 1000 link/ether e8:94:f6:24:83:52 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff How does the system dredge up LocLCS218301788? A cache? Haven't seen a mention of wicd caching old device names. Other ideas? Thanks, ...
