Hi,
While researching a bug reported against RHEL CoreOS I've decided to look a bit
deeper into
how a user would go about changing the name of a NIC on a machine to something
custom. In
this investigation I have some questions:
- It seems as if nm-initrd-generator doesn't have support for the ifname=
karg. Is that
intentional?
- If I specify the nic name and MAC as part of the ip= line the mac specified
gets set to
'cloned-mac-address' rather than 'mac-address'. Is that right?
- i.e,
ip=192.168.122.111::192.168.122.1:255.255.255.0:initrdhost:nicname:none:0:52:54:00:00:00:0a
-
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/blob/master/src/initrd/nmi-cmdline-reader.c#L583
- Is there a udev helper that parses NM keyfiles and sets up udev rules like
/lib/udev/rename_device
does for reading legacy network scripts in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ ?

Thanks for the help.
