Interesting. Do you know what happens if there is a udev rule that creates eth0? Is this .link file needed? I can test that so it's somewhat of a rhetorical question. > 2.)

If I understand correctly, systemd has built in dhcp too. E.g. [Match] Name=eth0 [Network] DHCP=true I'll experiment a little, but probably not until Wednesday. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
