Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: udev
The new iwlist driver for the intel wireless cards 3945 etc installs a second
`interface' called wmaster.
When upgrading from iwp3945 to ivl3945 udev gets confused and tries to rename
the real interface from
wlan0 to eth1 since there is a corresponding entry in 70-persistent-net.rules.
It gets stuck and ends up with an
interface named wla0_rename.
Fix: adding `wmaster*' to the pattern for network cards in
75-persistent-net-generator.rules worked for me.
It then created a rule in 70-persistent-net.rules:
SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTRS{address}=="xxxxxxxxxxxxx",
NAME="wmaster0"
and permitted to leave the one for the real interface
SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTRS{address}=="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
ATTRS{type}=="1", NAME="eth1"
unchanged. In particular this leaves the name of the interface to what it had
been (eth1 for me), which is preferable for
not having to change other scripts.
