Why should I? Kernel behaviour is traditionally way more stable than udev behaviour. If my driver for my only one network card has always produced eth0 as device name, chances are good it will do so still in a few years, after re-shuffling the cards in my casing, and even after exchanging the whole motherboard. Whereas with udev I can probably expect random things at random times for each of these events. Also, should I have problems with a new kernel, I can always just boot back into an old one without much ado. -- Andreas K. Huettel Gentoo Linux developer [email protected] http://www.akhuettel.de/
