I don't, and recall reading about this somewhere (was it this M/L? ) but can't find it right now. I have noticed that PCI installed NICs get renamed by udev, while extreneous NICs, e.g. USB based devices retain their old naming convention. In my case the non-MoBo cards and devices happened to have drivers installed as modules - they were not renamed. Perhaps I drew an erroneous correlation. -- Regards, Mick
