> can't it have a name like ethX? No, we can't *re*name devices to names which are also (potentially) being used by the kernel. That has been a major race condition which was one of the major reasons to get rid of the old persistent-net-generator.
It *can* get a name like "ibmvethX", though, as that does not collide. > Can we use the "DRIVER" match key in a udev rule to name these ibmveth devices as ethX Yes, if we go back to the persistent-net approach, we'll match on DRIVERS=="ibmveth". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1561096 Title: STC850:Brazos:Br16:Br16p05: Network ethernet port name changed under Ubuntu 16.04 with added adapters (ibmveth) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1561096/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
