Patches welcome. ;-)
Am I misunderstanding, or do you have that backwards? If you want to arbitrarily name the network interfaces in F10+ wouldn't you need to modify the udev file? Redhat (annoyingly) seems to have deprecated the HWADDR functionality that did this previously. The one under /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules comes to mind. -- Jeff Schroeder Don't drink and derive, alcohol and analysis don't mix. http://www.digitalprognosis.com _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
