Thank you very much. My own problem is solved, but my understanding is incomplete. Now I need to find the documentation for this and read it. There is not a huge amount of detail here: file:///usr/share/doc/udev-145/writing_udev_rules/index.html#example-netif Why does this override the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth*? And since it does, the jurisdiction of the ifcfg-eth* scripts seems encroached. It seems confusing to me. I need to understand how this gets written. I suppose I need to read the startup scripts and try to understand the division of labour between NetworkManager, udev and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/*. I wish there was documentation that shows how these all coexist and cohere together. Does such documentation exist? -- Nick Urbanik http://nicku.org nicku@xxxxxxxxx GPG: 7FFA CDC7 5A77 0558 DC7A 790A 16DF EC5B BB9D 2C24 ID: BB9D2C24
