Public bug reported: The netplan configuration in ubuntu-raspi-settings (and more widely, the network-config in the gadget used on the server images) fails to rename the internal ethernet interface on Pi 3B and 3B+ models from "en<mac- address>" to "eth0". In the netplan case this is because the driver matching logic doesn't handle space-separate driver matches (although the underlying networkd system does); in the cloud-init case it simply refuses to rename interfaces that aren't matched by full MAC address.
The intended fix is to stop attempting to do this via netplan or cloud- init, and simply handle this via a networkd .link file in ubuntu-raspi- settings. This will require an update to the relevant seeds as this package is currently only pulled into ubuntu-desktop-raspi, not ubuntu- server-raspi. ** Affects: ubuntu-meta (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-meta in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1922266 Title: eth0 interface name change fails on Pi 3/3+ Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: The netplan configuration in ubuntu-raspi-settings (and more widely, the network-config in the gadget used on the server images) fails to rename the internal ethernet interface on Pi 3B and 3B+ models from "en<mac-address>" to "eth0".
