FYI: for working udev rules... An example from above: SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="ac:16:2d:9b:07:4f", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="p3p4" But I found that using it that way will not fix the case where a device is randomly named "renameX" on boot.. But if you remove all the optional bits from the line, it works reliably: SUBSYSTEM=="net", ATTR{address}=="ac:16:2d:9b:07:4f", NAME="p3p4" My guess it that it doesn't think the "rename#" ones match the other criteria. So just use MAC, which is unique. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1284043 Title: udev renaming the same hardware network i/f to different name, breaks networking and firewall To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/biosdevname/+bug/1284043/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
