Here is what I wrote down for changing ethernet devices to any arbitrary name you want, including ethX, under Fedora 17 (15+, actually). https://alteeve.ca/w/Changing_Ethernet_Device_Names_in_EL7_and_Fedora_15%2B You don't need to mess with biosdevname, juts set/edit 70-persistent-net.rules (details described in the above link). -- Digimer Papers and Projects: https://alteeve.ca/w/ What if the cure for cancer is trapped in the mind of a person without access to education? -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
