Essentially, it will read 26-modprobe.rules then 26-network.rules, since 'm' is before 'n' in the alphabet. If you `cd /etc/udev/rules.d; ls -1`, you will see the files printed in the order that they will be read. It would be good practice to give them different numbers, but it's by no means essential. Archlinux, for example, uses filenames like "udev.rules", "gphoto.rules" etc. Alex :-) PS: the -1 option given to ls just makes it print everything in a single column -- Pippin Computer Monkey to the Pelican www.oxrev.org.uk, www.corpusjcr.org, www.rev.org.uk 0870 120 0870, ext 26669
