As an aside, if I'm reading it correctly, the logic to make ethX names persistent via /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules is apparently on its way out from udev:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-hotplug&m=131366602725095&w=2 And from the udev NEWS file, for version 174 ( https://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/hotplug/udev.git;a=blob_plain;f=NEWS;hb=HEAD ): "The rules to create persistent network interface and cdrom link rules automatically in /etc/udev/rules.d/ have been disabled by default. Explicit configuration will be required for these use cases, udev will no longer try to write any persistent system configuration from a device hotplug path." So if not for 12.04, at least somewhat longer-term, enabling biosdevname by default is probably the best way forward, IMHO. (this would probably be more appropriate for the ubuntu-devel thread, but I'm not subscribed there so I'm being lazy and putting the msg here instead. Sorry.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/891258 Title: Biosdevname auto enabled on Dell HW To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/oem-priority/+bug/891258/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
