Hi,
does somebody know how to prevent the persistent-net.rules to be saved during
the shutdown process?
The background is that I have a network interface with a faulty mac adress
(FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF) on a K8N Neo2 (nforce3 ultra). So the kernel applys a
random mac address to the network interface on every boot. At the shutdown
process a entry with the randomly generated mac address will be written
into /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules. And that's my problem,
because at the next boot another mac address will be applied to the network
interface which does not match the one saved to persistent-net.rules and udev
does not provide an interface eth0.

Possibly a fix for the MAC address, on the BIOS screen, press shift+f2
then alt+f3 which should reveal extra settings, including the option to
enter your own choice of MAC address for the nVidia adapter. The
original mac address should be on a sticker above the paralell port. You
don't mention which K8N neo2, so you may have two onboard NICs, and the
stickers MAC address will only be for one of them, the other being a
digit lower.
