We've been though this before , such as when we made /dev/ 'dynamically generated'. It didn't fit everyone's needs right away. (I'm not sure it does even now.)
Right now all I see in in rules.d/77-network.rules which uses ifup/ifdown and rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules which maps an Ethernet address to eth0
YMMV - it probably does :-)
Don't hold your breath, in 13.1 we're headed toward socalled "PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames", such as enp13s0, enp14s0, enp3s1f0, enp3s1f1, enp6s2 ... https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=820589 Speaking professionally, we have some 50+ openSUSE systems spanning 10.2 to 12.2. They are all SNMP monitored, locally and externally. The change of network device naming introduced by systemd (yes, this IS a systemd issue), will mean our systems will be unable/unlikely to move beyond 12.3. I am hoping the openSUSE comm^H^H^H^H do-ocracy will see sense and at least retain the ability to rename devices automagically as we are used to. Maybe we can take over some stuff from upstream SLES. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (26.0°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free DNS hosting, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
