Skip the script; The main thing is to take the 'em1 ... HWadd: aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff' and put it in 70-persistent-net.rules as (one line); SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff", NAME="eth0" Then in you 'ifcfg-eth0' file, set 'DEVICE="eth0"' and make sure there is no HWADDR="..." line. Reboot and you should be golden. -- 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?
