Messages for package sys-fs/udev-215: Starting from version >= 197 the new predictable network interface names are used by default, see: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/tree/src/udev/udev-builtin-net_id.c Example command to get the information for the new interface name before booting (replace <ifname> with, for example, eth0): # udevadm test-builtin net_id /sys/class/net/<ifname> 2> /dev/null You can use either kernel parameter "net.ifnames=0", create empty file /etc/systemd/network/99-default.link, or symlink it to /dev/null to disable the feature. You need to restart udev as soon as possible to make the upgrade go into effect. The method you use to do this depends on your init system. For sys-apps/openrc users it is: # /etc/init.d/udev --nodeps restart For more information on udev on Gentoo, upgrading, writing udev rules, and fixing known issues visit: http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Udev http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Udev/upgrade
