Correct.

Hmm; not with udevtest from udev-110, or with "udevadm test" from
udev-122. I just deleted everything udev-related, installed -122, re-
added my custom rules, and ran the test (I also ran it on -110 last
night). This was without a generated rule file present, since I didn't
move it back:

It didn't parse a 70-persistent-net.rules file on the first run, and it
did run the write_net_rules script according to the output. It did parse
a 70-persistent-net.rules file on the second run, and the interface had a
NAME assigned on the second run as well. It looks like it works fine.
:-)
Now, it's possible they'll remove this support in the future, I'm not
sure. But since it does work for now, I'd feel slightly more comfortable
using it than the test-udev binary. (But only slightly.)
I'm guessing that 2.6.18 is probably the minimum required kernel for this
method as well, unless "udevadm test" is able to find the required
information using the old method. Unfortunately I don't have a bunch of
kernels to test it on...
(Actually, the "read from the uevent attribute" code wasn't added to the
kernel until something more recent than 2.6.18. But if needed, we should
-- hopefully -- be able to work around that by setting INTERFACE manually
before running udevadm. Google seems to think that the minimum kernel for
reading from uevent is 2.6.24; I don't have anything older than that
available to test.)
