However, all this stuff is grossly wrong, as it depends on a certain ordering in the udev rule, which is not necessarily guaranteed. udev does not care if I write SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:50:8d:b0:9c:c7", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0" or SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{type}=="1", ATTR{address}=="00:50:8d:b0:9c:c7", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0" but netcf does. And that's terminally broken IMNSHO. Why does netcf care for udev rules at all? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

This is on a 11.4 that was updated from 11.3

Is the old persistent rules udev file maintained across an update without updating the entries for the additional attribute that typically appears in an 11.4 rule? ATTR{dev_id}? If its legal for the udev rule to not include this attribute in 11.4? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

An update to augeas-lenses prior to release had lenses that did not load properly. Netcf was overly sensitive to any errors and should only care about lenses it depends on. I have fixed this and also made netcf avoid changes to persistent-net.rules except for the case where the user actually changes the mac via the netcf syntax. Unfortunately, this is where the mapping between device name and mac address is typically done.
