--- Begin Message ---Package: udev Version: 224-1 Severity: normal Previously, my WiMAX device was named something like wmx0. Now, it appears it's been renamed to enx<MAC Address>. First of all, the name has changed from what it used to be, and now I have to check that it's not broken anything. There wasn't supposed to be a naming change for people with the persistent-net rules in place. Secondly, this is not an Ethernet device, so en is not correct (it should be ww). The device is on the USB bus (using the driver i2400m-usb). For an example why this matters, think firewall rules: while I might legitimately want to SSH into my laptop over Ethernet or WiFi (e.g. from my phone when I'm in the other room), there's no reason I would want arbitrary people on the Internet (WiMAX) to SSH in. Of course, I have appropriate security measures in place, but I'd still want to firewall incoming WiMAX connections, and using an appropriate naming scheme makes that possible. -- Package-specific info: -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.0.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=es_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=es_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages udev depends on: ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii cdebconf [debconf-2.0] 0.195 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.57 ii dpkg 1.18.2 ii libacl1 2.2.52-2 ii libblkid1 2.26.2-9 ii libc6 2.19-19 ii libkmod2 21-1 ii libselinux1 2.3-2+b1 ii libudev1 224-1 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian13+nmu1 ii procps 2:3.3.10-2 ii util-linux 2.26.2-9 udev recommends no packages. udev suggests no packages. -- debconf information excluded -- brian m. carlson / brian with sandals: Houston, Texas, US +1 832 623 2791 | http://www.crustytoothpaste.net/~bmc | My opinion only OpenPGP: RSA v4 4096b: 88AC E9B2 9196 305B A994 7552 F1BA 225C 0223 B187signature.asc

Since I only have this one system where it works properly, I assume this is fixed and since you no longer have access to your old system, I think it's best to close the bug report, as we have no means to further investigate this.
