You do know this is false, right? The names are supposed to be predictable, not persistent. If you do happen to MOVE your network card because the new videocard you add to your system does not fit otherwise, the name _will_ change. > If /etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules is a empty file, or if it's a > symlink to /dev/null, the new names will be disabled and kernel will do > all the interface naming, which will be random. Avoid spreading FUD about naming being random. Thanks. -- Diego Elio Pettenò — Flameeyes [email protected] — http://blog.flameeyes.eu/
