The DEVICE=eth0 in ifcfg-eth0 did it. I didn't have that in my (automatically generated) ifcfg-eth0. Once I added that it worked. Matlab is now up and running! Thank you very much! On a final note, net.ifnames=0 works in conjunction with /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules: cat /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules # do not edit this file, it will be overwritten on update ACTION!="add", GOTO="net_name_slot_end" SUBSYSTEM!="net", GOTO="net_name_slot_end" NAME!="", GOTO="net_name_slot_end" IMPORT{cmdline}="net.ifnames" ENV{net.ifnames}=="0", GOTO="net_name_slot_end" NAME=="", ENV{ID_NET_NAME_ONBOARD}!="", NAME="$env{ID_NET_NAME_ONBOARD}" NAME=="", ENV{ID_NET_NAME_SLOT}!="", NAME="$env{ID_NET_NAME_SLOT}" NAME=="", ENV{ID_NET_NAME_PATH}!="", NAME="$env{ID_NET_NAME_PATH}" LABEL="net_name_slot_end" If this rule is shadowed by a custom rule in /etc/udev/rules.d, then obviously net.ifnames=0 has no effect. But the custom rules should take care of it. You didn't have any custom rules, so net.ifnames worked as expected. I removed all my custom rules in /etc/udev/rules.d. DEVICE=eth0 was what I was missing though. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
