I have a rather new SuperMicro MB that has two on-board NIC, as well as a card with 4 Intel NIC ports. The problem is that it seems that the BIOS does not report these in the same order (I am guessing) so that the same NIC gets the same ethX across reboots. 90% of the time they are the same. But the rest of the times they are different.
I thought I could add something like this as a udev rule: In 12.3, 70-persistent-net.rules should be automatically set up for you.
It is. But the problem is that the file is set up however the BIOS reported the devices when the system was installed (it seems). If that changes in a later boot, it seems that the rules no longer work. As I suggested, perhaps that is because of possible conflicts with the original names. I surely cannot rename an interface in the rules file to be the same as an existing one. And when the order of when each rule changes (the BIOS presents the list in a different order), this may happen. If I use a new naming scheme so that a conflict does not arrise, the udev rules work every time. -- Yours sincerely, Roger Oberholtzer Ramböll RST / Systems Office: Int +46 10-615 60 20 Mobile: Int +46 70-815 1696 roger.oberholtzer@ramboll.se ________________________________________ Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.
