They are just as good sequence of characters as any other.
I beg to differ. They make me smile, whereas 'eth0' doesn't.
Well, this makes further discussion pointless.
You can continue to use eth0 further, it is easy to disable new naming scheme.
Yes, I know and I am grateful. If this new scheme had been forcibly imposed on everyone in a one-size-will-fit-all Microsoft way, you would have heard a much different reaction.
But one thing I wonder is
When I have a server with four fixed ethernet interfaces numbered 1,2,3,4 by the manufacturer, and a fibre card with another two numbered 0 and 1, I tend to assign names eth0, eth1, eth2, eth3, eth4, eth5
How exactly do you *assign* them?
Today it is done by way of /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules using the MAC-address as the key. In my experience, the initial automatically generated rules are good for 90-95% of the cases. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (21.8°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
