I tried with this solution in a raspberry pi2 and it didn't work for me (as discussed with pitti), but adding the new strange iface name to /etc/network/interfaces worked, with what used to be eth0.
On the other hand, the symlinking worked to have recognized a new wireless usb interface, which right after the upgrade that deleted my interfaces had the new weird interface format (ex enxb827ebf5f71c), and then became wlan0. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1593379 Title: systemd 229-4ubuntu6 ignores net.ifnames=0 on USB or /etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-setup-link.rules being a /dev/null symlink To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1593379/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
