I would like to explain the original intention of the design in the udev rule.
Since it is not possible letting two NICs to have the same ifname, I tend to find a way to assign a persistent name that would not duplicate on a system for each usbnet. It is meant to break the current rule, so I was trying to reduce the number of potential victims. I found that people using NetworkManager, which identifies connections by UUID, won't be affected. Restrict the system vendor also helps to mitigate the impact. I admit unsetting the duplicated ifname does solve the original issue without regression in a real case. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1843381 Title: Dell system takes a long time to connect network with external dock To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/oem-priority/+bug/1843381/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
