You are a funny guy, right? Have you ever worked in an environment where Linux systems are actually used in production (large-scale)? I guess the obvious answer is no, otherwise you would know that these settings are critical. They are not allowed to change during or after a simple update (patch), certainly not in an enterprise version which (by definition) should provide a stable environment. Sorry, but sometimes I can only shake my head when reading these overly naive statements. Geez, it's time to end this thread...
My point is this particular setting might just change after a reboot, it might have nothing to do with a patch. There are persistent names you can rely on, or you can choose to gamble that the ethX names that are transient may remain the same after a reboot or reloading the driver. _ Benjamin Weber -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
