Hi Carlos, What do you mean by that ? With openSUSE 11.1, I do not know how to disable the persistent NIC names. The only way I have to circumvent that is the delete the relevant lines at /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules, but I do not want to do that on 1.000+ machines... If I do not do so, all machines I deploy will expect that MAC address on eth0 and their own NIC will be renamed to eth1. That is the behavior I want avoid. Regards, Rui Carlos E. R. wrote:

At least until On openSUSE 10.1, there used to exist an option on /etc/sysconfig/network/config called FORCE_PERSISTENT_NAMES. I used that option because I had to deploy more than 1.000 machines with openSUSE and didn't want it to check for the NIC's MAC address ( obviously ). When doing the same on openSUSE 11.1, I realize that that option no longer exists, and udev keeps the same MAC behavior for identifying all NICs. Is there any way to mimic that openSUSE 10.1 behavior ?
I don't think you need that now :-q?
