I'm on Xenial and I ran an apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade and my eth0 changed back to enxb827djdk after reboot :(
My biggest issue is virtual interfaces do NOT work with these "predictable" network names. I can do ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.123.123 but I cannot do ifconfig enxb827djdk:0 192.168.123.123 - it just overrites the main IP, rather than creating another virtual interface :( Previously, I was able to follow these steps: Edit/boot/firmware/config.txt to add: net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0 Run: ln -s /dev/null /etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-setup-link.rules Make sure this file is absent (which it was anyway): /lib/udev/rules.d/73-usb-net-by-mac.rules Run: update-initramfs -k all -u But now, running the above steps no longer works and I'm getting enxb827djdk again :( I also checked /proc/cmdline and I have net.ifnames=0 there so it's definitely being passed. I'm running kernel 4.4.0-1023-raspi2 Sep 6 16:12:44 UTC 2016 Is there a solution/workaround? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1593379 Title: systemd 229-4ubuntu6 ignores net.ifnames=0 on USB or /etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-setup-link.rules being a /dev/null symlink To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1593379/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
