Stephen--what is the architecture of this machine? Are you running 32-bit on a 64bit machine?

Hi all, This one has been going on for a while... Every time I install an updated kernel on this specific machine, I get a udev rule inserted in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules That rule is: # PCI device 0x10ec:0x8169 (r8169) (custom name provided by external tool) SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:18:4d:79:65:47", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth1.203" Now whats strange here is udev renames the physical ethernet adapter (eth0) to eth1.203 - which is (was?) a working VLAN. So, the network config: # cat ifcfg-eth0 DEVICE="eth0" BOOTPROTO="static" BROADCAST="192.168.1.255" HWADDR="00:40:63:EA:B7:21" IPADDR="192.168.1.1" NETMASK="255.255.255.0" ONBOOT="yes" # cat ifcfg-eth1 # Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8169 Gigabit Ethernet TYPE=Ethernet DEVICE=eth1 BOOTPROTO=static ONBOOT=no HWADDR=00:18:4d:79:65:47 # cat ifcfg-eth1.10 # Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8169 Gigabit Ethernet TYPE=Ethernet DEVICE=eth1.10 BOOTPROTO=static ONBOOT=yes IPADDR=10.1.1.254 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 VLAN=yes IPV6INIT=yes IPV6_AUTOCONF=no IPV6ADDR=2002:cb38:f71b:2::1 IPV6FORWARDING=yes # cat ifcfg-eth1.203 # Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8169 Gigabit Ethernet TYPE=Ethernet DEVICE=eth1.203 BOOTPROTO=static ONBOOT=yes IPADDR=203.56.246.94 NETMASK=255.255.255.240 VLAN=yes IPV6INIT=yes IPV6_AUTOCONF=no IPV6ADDR=2002:cb38:f71b:1::1 IPV6FORWARDING=yes As you can see, there isn't very much out of a normal ethernet setup - but the where the udev rule comes from is beyond me. It happens guaranteed every time yum installs a kernel update. Does anyone have any pointers on where to chase this down to? -- Steven Haigh Email: [email protected] Web: https://www.crc.id.au Phone: (03) 9001 6090 - 0412 935 897 Fax: (03) 8338 0299
