Public bug reported:

Hi,

I'm just trying to configure an ubuntu machine to work as a network
controller (dhcp, dns,...) for several virtual and physical machines,
using a linux bridge as a virtual network, and trying to automatically
add USB-Ethernet-Devices to the bridge through udev.

Unfortunately my udev rules fail since Network Manager does rename new
Ethernet devices *before* udev runs, e.g.

eth0 to enx0000e80006d8

for my USB ethernet device. Thus, many regular udev rules fail since
they use the device name the kernel passes (=eth0), but can't find that
device for commands (since it changed it's name).

Instructing NetworkManager to ignore ifup-configured devices does not
help, since NetworkManager renames the devices and thus does not apply
/etc/network/interfaces rules for eth0.

Even worse: Even when listing the particular mac address in
/etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf to be ignored, NM ignores it in
the way that it does not configure it, but still renames it.

Is there any other way to make NetworkManager completely keep its dirty
fingers away from Network Devices except for completely killing it?
