Ah. A bit:
# cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
# This file was automatically generated by the /lib/udev/write_net_rules
# program, run by the persistent-net-generator.rules rules file.
#
# You can modify it, as long as you keep each rule on a single
# line, and change only the value of the NAME= key.
# net device ()
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*",
ATTR{address}=="02:c4:03:82:c1:5
3", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0"
# net device ()
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*",
ATTR{address}=="02:c3:04:01:77:c
3", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth1"
===========================================
So I can pull that eth1 line that got generated error and change the
eth0 line?
Well I did that, took the macaddr and hwaddr lines. restarted network
and it was not finding eth0. And it added eth1 back into
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules.
I cleaned that up, and rebooted. During the boot, I see the message:
Bringing up interface eth0: Device eth0 does not seem to be present,
delaying initialization.
[FAILED]
and once I get started, ifconfig reports eth1 again, and the eth1 line
got added to rules. But the network IS working with addresses I want.
But on eth1 with the errors about eth0.
So there seems to be something before rules that is needed to be edited,
or there is some limitation on my driver(s).
