AFAIK, you can't rename NICs via /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-*" any longer. If you use nmcli, you can set "NAME=name" to refer to "name" in the commands. Using "net.ifnames=0" at the kernel cmdline is the simplest solution. But there are other methods: 1) You can rename NICs, NOT_TO "ethX", via /etc/udev/rules.d/*.rules or /etc/systemd/network/*.link 2) You can keep "ethX" via /etc/systemd/network/99-default.link in which you set NamePolicy=kernel instead of NamePolicy=keep kernel database onboard slot path as in /usr/lib/systemd/network/99-default.link 3) You can keep "ethX" via an empty /etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-setup-link.rules but this file was called something else ("80-net-name-slot.rules"?) previously, so... > Messing with grub kernel options looks definitely overkill. Why? It's just one file edit. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
