If people use NetworkManager, the new names are a problem in only one case that I know about.

When this happens, NM will not connect to the device.
really? I don't think this is related to the name, the driver is probably just broken? Or did it start to work once you fixed the udev rule to name it "wlan0"?
When a new udev rule was added to name it wlanX, then it started to work.
I always since years have named my interfaces "cable" and "air" (in order to find buggy software that relies on "ethX" or "wlanX") and have not had a problem with networkmanager and such because of this.
I agree that the root cause is a buggy driver, but those won't be fixed by 13.1 release, which is why I brought up the point here. Larry -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
