I guess the old adage of "don't fix it if it ain't broke" doesn't apply anymore. So what is broke with using eth# ?
What has always been, for decades, network interface numbering is not persistent across reboots, so all distributions added their custom ways to try to solve the problem, all have bugs. there is now a set of udev rules to provide an unified way for all distributions to use.
Not persistent across reboots? What happened to my best friend, called /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules, then?
I'm pretty sure that had you read what Cristian wrote, and what you quoted, you would have seen that he covered this.
I did read. But I do not understand the connection between two parts of his writing: - When the way via /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules worked, why does Cristian say that "interface numbering is not persistent across reboots"? - Plus, when he speaks about "a set of udev rules to provide an unified way", what do the new names change or make better? The udev rules connect interface names to MACs, and the network configuration connects addresses to interface names. Why had the names to change? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
