Hi, it works in simple setups (few cards, few ports, only onboard chips) using the previously created net-persistent-names.rules files. In more complex setups it doesn't work because the logic to rename the interfaces to a intermediate name was ripped out so there can be name collisions and big surprises at reboot that can be fixed only by creating a systemd ?link file. Was bitten by this when setting up a router with 12 ports and had to develop a script to get it done (doesn't work well with eudev yet... because ti needs to recreate net-persistent name at boot but in volatile way) Ciao, Tito > For the sake of completeness and y'all's convenience, here a link to > the related info in the Debianwiki: > > https://wiki.debian.org/NetworkInterfaceNames > > libre Grüße, > Florian > _______________________________________________ > Dng mailing list > Dng@lists.dyne.org > https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
