After some troubleshooting with help from soren and ivoks on IRC, we found out that a restart of udev (sudo /etc/init.d/udev stop && sudo /etc/init.d/udev start) in fact does populate the file /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules properly.
Also in order to have the file properly generated when the interface names were already renamed, it required a modification of /etc/udev/rules.d/75-persistent-net-generator.rules to include wildcards that'd match the renamed interfaces. -- network interfaces not properly configured https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/149319 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
