Hello Benoit, > usually distro enable persistent interface naming with udev, check > /etc/iftab and see if you have something like > /etc/udev/something-iftab.rules
Found this : # This file assigns persistent names to network interfaces. # See iftab(5) for syntax. eth0 mac 00:11:d8:a9:c0:c2 arp 1 ra0 mac 00:11:d8:b9:27:7e arp 1 As these are no MAC on my machine, I suspect this is the reason for the renaming. I'm trying Olaf's patch to check the message is printed, and next boot is without this crap in this /etc/iftab file.
