Replying from my other email address here due to firewall issues-- I'm not stopping you from using ethX interface names. By default our livecds start a dhcpcd instance to autoconfigure any interface with a link detected, my change won't affect that behavior. If dhcpcd autoconfig is not suitable, our docs point you to net-setup for manual configuration, my change won't affect that behavior either. If you decide to go a 3rd route and use netifrc, you will need to manually create the net.ethX link(s). Users with default/"predictable" interface names already would have to do this. Are you sure you're actually affected by my change? Thanks, Ben
