After running the code in section 7.13, viz:
"for NIC in /sys/class/net/* ; do
INTERFACE=${NIC##*/} udevadm test --action=add $NIC
done"
I cannot find the /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules file that
is supposed to have been generated.
I have spent some time trying to track down the reason why the file is
not created.
As far as I can tell /lib/udev/write_net_rules is not being invoked at
all, and this is possibly because the following line in
/lib/udev/rules.d/75-persistent-net-generator.rules is not generating
a match:
DRIVERS=="?*", IMPORT{program}="write_net_rules"
The output of /udevadm info --attribute-walk --path=/sys/class/net/eth0 is:
looking at device '/class/net/eth0':
KERNEL=="eth0"
SUBSYSTEM=="net"
DRIVER==""
ATTR{addr_len}=="6"
ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0"
ATTR{iflink}=="2"
ATTR{ifindex}=="2"
ATTR{features}=="0x0"
ATTR{type}=="1"
ATTR{link_mode}=="0"
ATTR{address}=="00:04:xx:xx:xx:xx" [MAC address blanked out by
me, but first 2 hex bytes are correct]
ATTR{broadcast}=="ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff"
ATTR{carrier}=="1"
ATTR{dormant}=="0"
ATTR{operstate}=="up"
ATTR{mtu}=="1500"
ATTR{flags}=="0x1003"
ATTR{tx_queue_len}=="1000"
looking at parent device '/class/net':
KERNELS=="net"
SUBSYSTEMS=="subsystem"
DRIVERS==""
A problem that may be related to this has been referred to before on
this list, but not solved. See:
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/lfs-support/2010-January/037398.html
Any suggestions for how to fix this would be appreciated (although
since I have just the one network card I am hopeful that things will
work regardless once I have a full LFS system).
