+3 for the eth0/wlan0 naming scheme - yes I'm stuffing the vote!! ' re: MAC address - each vendor is supposed to have their own pool of numbers. some cards can be programmed with a MAC - so that sysadmins could replace a card and not have to reconfigure servers. ' re: MAC there was/is an issue on ARM type of sbc (Pi, Beaglebone, olimex) that don't really have a NIC chip but simulate through a fast serial/usb interface!!! they all end up with the same 'simulated' MAC [from the same run of boards] ' my ignorance may be showing here: I am surprised that there isn't an fstab-style record of MACs to ethX/wlanX that way a MOTD-style popup could alert for a change or/ confirmation on default action. ' is there someway to create an alias for eth0/wlan0 for the newer-ugly naming scheme? It just keeps getting more and more complicated - progress???!!
