I end up with interface names such as "wlan0_rename_re". Used rescue to rm /proc and /sys, followed by "md proc sys", also renamed "wlan0_rename_re" to "wlan0", yet udev keeps giving me "wlan0_rename_re". I couldn't find any reference in /dev. What's the way to fix this?

Take a look at /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules ...

I had a similar problem with eth0 always becoming eth0_rename_ren... I "fixed" it by specifying the appropriate drivers for my NICs as follows: SUBSYSTEM=="net",DRIVERS=="ndiswrapper",,NAME="wlan0" SUBSYSTEM=="net",DRIVERS=="forcedeth",,NAME="eth0" --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Thanks, I just spotted that it's there as wlan1, misread it as wlan0 earlier or it changed when I was trying different things. # This file was automatically generated by the /lib/udev/write_net_rules # program,probably run by the persistent-net-generator.rules rules file. # # You can modify it,as long as you keep each rule on a single line. # PCI device 0x10de:0x0373 (forcedeth) # PCI device 0x10de:0x0373 (forcedeth) # PCI device 0x104c:0x9066 (acx_pci) # USB device 0x148f:0x2573 (rt73usb) SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:0e:2e:e3:80:9b", NAME="wlan1" SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", , NAME="eth0" Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
