never really arrived at a conculsion regarding why the INTERFACE
environment variable was not being exported to /lib/udev/write_net_rules.
i was able to alleviate the issue by creating a rules file that
explicitly exports INTERFACE in /etc/udev/rules.d/69-jmscott.rules.
Ths content of that file follows:
ENV{INTERFACE}=="",ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="net", KERNEL=="eth0",
ENV{INTERFACE}:="/sys/class/net/eth0"
this rule exports INTERFACE for eth0, and, hence
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules appears to be written as the book
requires. obviously, is an ugly hack, but it' the one i'm going to stick
with for the sake of pushing forward with building a bootable linux,
until i get a better understanding if udev.
any coments or advice is appreciated-j
