You could try opening a bugreport, but as NIC enumeration is about to change significantly, you might not get much traction.
Well, it is still supposed to work in 12.3, if it does not - it is a bug. But so far description was far too vague to even guess what the problem is.
Agree.
OOC, does the udev rule happen when the NIC is found, or when a cable is plugged to it?
I believe the renaming happens as early as possible, ie. when the NIC device is recognized during boot-up.
Another odd problem:
It used to be that when you plugged in or took out the network cable, you got a message in /var/log/messages that the activity had occurred.
I've never seen any such messages, maybe they are from the Network Manager? Or maybe you need NICs configured as "onplug" (can't remember the correct term).
I will check that. In our system, the connections are fine at boot. We have not changed the settings. On a different 12.3 system, with similar persistent cabled connections, I see this when I unplug/plug a cable: kernel: [340741.476759] r8169 0000:0a:00.0 eth0: link down kernel: [340743.984668] r8169 0000:0a:00.0 eth0: link up But not on the system I am trying to sort out.
I no longer see this. Also, even though the LEDs in the NIC light as expected, the link is not list as up in 'ip addr'. This is on a couple machines.
The NIC LEDs and the interface config status are independent, afaik. Usually one LED indicates connection (sometimes also speed), the other indicates activity on the network.
Indeed. I just meant that a link is sensed by the NIC (the cable has a connection at the other end). -- 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.
