LFS 6.2
Capitalization Issue:
=====================
7.13.1. Creating stable names for network interfaces
^ ^ ^ ^
Udev Stuff:
===========
Reading section 7.13.1 it mentions
"If you are going to use the bus position as a key, create Udev rules
similar to the following"
however, there is no information provided on how to get the
bus position (1) or why you would want to (3). Some googling
and info from gregkh (2) provided answers.
For the previous section a command is provided to get MAC info.
The useful commands are lspci and scanpci. An example
output from my system below shows how this maps to the info
needed for section 7.13.1
Dan / Alexander: Please provide some update to the book
for this section to fill in this gap as appropriate.
