Fw: Fw: udev rules network
Hi Bob, Short answer: Remove the file and reboot. If missing it will be created based upon the current situation at boot time. By accident found out that is indeed how it works. I had deleted te old file bacuse it created more problems then it solved. ;-) After a reboot the file was indeed regererated.

Fw: udev rules network
Hi, Short: Is there a way to regenerate the /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules file based on the current situation? Long: Had a motherbord swap in a server and afterwards some of the eth* devices pointed to the wrong interface. Of cource, the old NICs on the mainboard had been replaced by new NICs. Deleting the /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules helped me get the server back up and running. If I recall correctly the udev rules are there to make sure the same device name is used for the same hardware during hardware changes and I can still see the advantage in case I need to add more network ports by adding another network card. The udev rules would then make sure the new ports come after the currect eth0, .., eth5. Is there a way to recreate a /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules file based on the current situation?

But you need manually adjust that file to match each device with its MAC address. Is there a way to recreate a /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules file based on the current situation? You can edit that file at your convenience, that is, if the new motherboard ethernet adapters got renamed into eth2, eth3 and so on, just edit the rules to adjust them and get eth0, eth1 if that is your goal. You can do this by commenting (#) the old rules and just add the new ones. Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
