Yep, I did this to see if udev would build the new rules.. > mark <at> c2stable ~ $ ls -al /etc/udev/rules.d/ > total 24 > drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jan 1 14:40 . > drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Nov 26 17:33 .. > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Nov 26 17:31 .keep_sys-fs_udev-0 > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 79 Sep 26 06:19 51-android.rules > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 166 Nov 3 2011 60-ipod.rules > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1196 May 5 2012 70-persistent-cd.rules > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 627 Nov 26 17:33 70-persistent-net.rules Well is all works automatically, but udev did not create the files I thought it would upon reboot: rules.d # ls -alg total 12 drwxr-xr-x 2 root 192 Jan 2 14:37 . drwxr-xr-x 4 root 152 Dec 9 23:26 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root 1896 Sep 30 08:13 70-persistent-cd.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root 2652 Aug 20 2010 70-persistent-cd.rules.old -rw-r--r-- 1 root 948 Dec 3 03:52 70-persistent-net.rules.31dec2012.old After deleting the 70-persistent-net.rule file udev does not re-create it. All is now fine with rc-status only showing net.eth0 which is set up how I like it per /etc/conf.d/net. All services are fine Move on, or hand edit the '70-persistent-net.rules' file? TIA, James
