So another vote for keeping the eth0/wlan0 scheme and not renaming devices in userspace.
Like Rick I haven't encountered a spontaneous device name re-order in the wild. However, some time ago the authors of the reverse engineered nvidia ethernet driver (was it forcedeth?) noticed they had decoded the mac address incorrectly and fixed it in a point release. For me that meant a headless machine many thousands of kilometers away became unreachable as what was eth0 at the last reboot now was stuck at eth1_renamed or ens9faefas#*$? or whatever it was. Point is: In many cases eth0 means "the only network device on the system, the one we use to go online" and tieing it to a piece of hardware can be problematic too, as on occasion it gets replaced - or as per anecdode above, changes spontaneously, even though its function does not. regards marc _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
