How can I do that on a vmware ? udev will do it if needed, but it's not mandatory to have one (e.g. if all or your interfaces are handled by the same driver then their names will usually never change). BTW, we are talking about paravirtualized network interfaces. If vmware is emulating a real interface then there is some other issues. -- ciao, Marco -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-hotplug" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
