I'm having all sorts of trouble trying to get udev to rename
my interfaces based on MAC address. Please don't suggest
I use biosdevname or other such things: I really do want names
to be ethX and I want them in a specific order base on MAC address.
[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:e0:ed:1c:ec:e4", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", NAME="eth2"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:e0:ed:1c:ec:e5", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", NAME="eth3"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:30:48:fc:17:a2", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", NAME="eth0"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:30:48:fc:17:a3", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", NAME="eth1"
If I change the NAME=ethX to NAME=ethXr, then it seems to work. But, if I leave it as is above,
it does not appear to make any changes at all to the naming. I turned on debugging:
[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/udev/udev.conf
# see udev(7) for details
udev_log="debug"
But, I never see anything at all about 'ethX'.
I do not see any errors in /var/log/messages about it failing to rename due to 'File Exists'.
I read this thread about similar issue in Fedora 18, but towards the bottom, there is
a claim the bug was fixed. Maybe it came back?

[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa|grep systemd
systemd-python-204-9.fc19.x86_64
systemd-204-9.fc19.x86_64
systemd-libs-204-9.fc19.x86_64
systemd-sysv-204-9.fc19.x86_64
I'd be grateful for any help..Fedora 17 has become unstable for us due to gnome-fallback mode crashing,
so I'd like to be able to move forward to Fedora 19, but I really have to get udev working properly
first...
Thanks,
Ben
