Hi! I'm running into problems combining network device hotplugging and udev network device renaming rules.
Everything on its own works well:
- I have a udev rule in /etc/udev/rules.d/... telling udev to rename an
ethernet device based on its MAC address from say eth_old to eth_new.
When I plug the device in its name it correctly changed by udev.
- I have
rc_hotplug="net.eth_old !net.*"
in /etc/rc.conf. When I plug in the device it is automatically started
and the dhcpcd client runs for it.
When I combine both by using
rc_hotplug="net.eth_new !net.*"
then the device is renamed but no hotplugging occurs. When I use
rc_hotplug="net.eth_old !net.*"
then OpenRC tries to start up eth_old but fails to do so, because it has
already been renamed to eth_new.
Am I missing something here? Any help?
Regards
Matthias
