Hahahahno. :/ It had an inherent race condition of renaming devices to the same namespace than the kernel uses (thus creating collisions), and did not work at all in virtualized environments (see the long and ever-growing MAC blacklist). Apart from that it had several design problems: it was not predictable (names changed across reinstalls), prevented the ability of creating one OS image and installing it on many pieces of hardware (as the MAC addresses are device specific) and needed constant writability of /etc. Martin -- Martin Pitt | http://www.piware.de Ubuntu Developer (www.ubuntu.com) | Debian Developer (www.debian.org)
