I've read suggestions, but no evidence. > I have noticed that PCI installed NICs get renamed by udev, while > extreneous NICs, e.g. USB based devices retain their old naming > convention. > > In my case the non-MoBo cards and devices happened to have drivers > installed as modules - they were not renamed. Perhaps I drew an > erroneous correlation. I have a couple of devices that are not renamed, the drivers are modules but they also give nothing useful when running the udevadm command from the news item. I think it is more likely that the lack of renaming is due to udev not being able to find a unique name to give them. -- Neil Bothwick The law of Probability Dispersal decrees that whatever it is that hits the fan will not be evenly distributed.
