I am trying to swap eth0 with eth1, my onboard nic is coming up as eth0 and I need to swap it to eth1 to use with a VM'd firewall I am setting up.
I have tried :- creating with /etc/udev/rules.d/010_netinterfaces.rules :- KERNEL=="eth*", SYSFS{address}=="00:1D:x:xx:xx:A0", NAME="eth1" KERNEL=="eth*", SYSFS{address}=="00:0E:xx:xx:xx:92", NAME="eth0" I get := Feb 18 10:58:23 nas kernel: [ 18.264375] udev: renamed network interface eth1 to eth0 Feb 18 10:58:23 nas kernel: [ 18.300297] udev: renamed network interface eth0_rename to eth1 So that worked. But the Network manager KEEPS them as the other way round. Feb 18 10:58:34 nas NetworkManager: <info> eth0: driver is 'via-rhine'. Feb 18 10:58:34 nas NetworkManager: <info> Found new Ethernet device 'eth0'. Feb 18 10:58:34 nas NetworkManager: <info> (eth0): exported as /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/net_00_1d_xx_x_xx_a0 Feb 18 10:58:34 nas NetworkManager: <info> eth1: driver is 'e1000'. Feb 18 10:58:34 nas NetworkManager: <info> Found new Ethernet device 'eth1'. Feb 18 10:58:34 nas NetworkManager: <info> (eth1): exported as /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/net_00_0e_xx_xx_xx_92 So what can I do to get NM to stop putting them back again? -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
