Hi all

I've got a question regarding the

/lib/udev/init-net-rules.sh

script, that is supposed to generate entries in

/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

From line 15 to 20, there are the following entries:

VENDORS_IGNORED['52:54:00:']="kvm"
VENDORS_IGNORED['00:0c:29:']="vmware"
VENDORS_IGNORED['00:50:56:']="vmware"
VENDORS_IGNORED['00:15:5d:']="hyper-v"
VENDORS_IGNORED['00:00:00:']="invalid"

As my lfs system is actually a qemu virtual machine with a mac addess
starting with 52:54:00:, this results in no rule being generated for my
eth0. When I disable the line, the rule gets generated and all is well.

I fail to see the rationale for not generating an udev rule for virtual
network cards, what is the reason for that?

The MAC address in virtual systems is not always the same at every boot instance.
