That seems like a pretty kludgy way to do it. I just don't want
KNetworkManager to use eth3 as the default interface on boot. Yes,
changing that file would work, though I would probably have to
reconfigure all the network settings for eth0 and eth3.
Where does it store the setting to use eth3 as the primary interface?
In the above file :-) The names are generated by udev from another rule
set and added to this file...
Addendum: This usually happens if one cloned a Linux system from
one host to another, or if one exchanged Ethernet cards, or if one
changes MAC addresses. Since you worte about "reconfigure", you
already had a configuration for eth0, and you could fall under one
of these cases.
That files holds a record of all previously configured Ethernet
devices, and maps MAC addresses to device names. It operates under
the assumption that a device name is allocated for a newly seen MAC
address and then reserved for it -- which is a reasonable
assumption for enterprise environments and not always true for SOHO
and private environments.
