Thats a miss-statement. I do want persistent interface names EVEN if I move this boot drive to a whole new box. > If you know a way to do that other than the ways I suggested, go ahead > and tell us. > > I've already warned him that it will fail catastrophically on a system > with more than one NIC. This machine does in fact have 2 nic's. And I have indeed used both at the same time but haven't mastered "consistently". So lets see what sort of a mess its 70-persistent-net.rules looks like.?: But I can't show it, it doesn't exist. This is a sorta stretch install, patched for running linuxcnc, complete with a buggy as hell rtai kernel. The keyboard, and occasionally the mouse goes away. Unplug the bt dongle and replug it several times, and it comes back, for 2 to 8 days. So I won't install it to replace my old wheezy installs that are actually running machinery. Until this kernel has been replaced by one that works 100%. This one doesn't. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
