Hi guys,

I had a Mac Mini running XS 6.0.2 that used a USB network adapter for it's
management interface.

Never any issues.

I've installed a clean XS 6.2 over it this morning, with no changes made to
the hardware setup, just installed the new software.

Now the USB network adapter is no longer working properly, and is named
"side-48348-eth1" instead of "eth1".

I've dug further into this and I think it's something to do with
interface-rename.py/udev/net-rename-sideways.sh

net-rename-sideway.sh is correctly renaming the adapter to 'side-<random
number-eth1' at start-up, which is normal

The problem seems to be that it doesn't get renamed back to eth1 later on
like it's supposed to be.

I see "Later, an RC3 script will take these renamed devices and rename them
correctly." inside net-rename-sideways.sh, but this doesn't seem to be
happening.

I might've found a hint when I tried running interface-rename.py manually
just to see what happens:

./interface-rename.py --rename
ERROR    [2013-07-05 09:30:46] Can't generate current state for interface
'{'Driver': 'asix', 'Bus Info': 'usb-0000:00:1d.7-1.3', 'BIOS device':
{'all_ethN': 'eth1', 'physical': ''}, 'Assigned MAC': '80:49:71:11:84:FC',
'Firmware version': 'ASIX AX88772 USB 2.0 Ethernet', 'Driver version':
'14-Jun-2006', 'Kernel name': 'eth1'}' - Unrecognised PCI address
'usb-0000:00:1d.7-1.3'

Maybe some sub-system doesn't like the PCI address being a usb device?
There must've been a change somewhere between XS 6.0.2 to 6.2 related to
this?

Any ideas on a work-around / hopefully we can fix this in a future release?

Thanks!
Andrew
