That has not been my experience? We have a bunch of mini-itx machines with
realtek cards in them that have a high failure rate. I have been swapping
them for intel cards. I have never messed with the udev rules. All I do is
edit the HWADDR line in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth* to show the
new MAC. I then shutdown the machine, replace the NIC and restart.
These are headless C-6 machines built from a ks.cfg file. Metworkmangler
never gets installed.
What is messing with udev rules supposed to be necessary?
