Thanks, it does. "fallback naming" explains it because I thought that 80- provided override naming. But I'd still like to know more precisely. I looked at 75-net-description.rules and 80-net-setup-link.rules last night and decided to look up the source of "net_id", "path_id", "net_setup_link" this weekend because I was too tired... Thanks again.
