If you don't want to run Lennart-from-scratch, this is what I use to get back to a sane name - # fix the ecpXsY ethernet naming echo "# dummy, so that network is once again on eth0" >/etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules Strictly, just creating an empty file with that name will solve the problem - but empty files are fragile and their meaning is likely to be forgotten! This fixes the major abomination since udev was merged into systemd - that undesirable change is now also in eudev and Bruce's udev-from-systemd. I leave it to the people drinking Lennart's kool-aid to explain why names such as enp3s0 are saner than eth0! ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, dieses Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
