But in /var/log/boot.msg I find this (quoting only about eth0 here): <6>e1000: eth0: e1000_probe: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection ... <6>eth0 renamed to eth_s2_0 by udevd [274] <6>udev: renamed network interface eth0 to eth_s2_0 So udev must have some other rule telling it to rename those devices. After I have removed 70-persistent-net.rules (and it is not re-created when rebooting) I don't know where this could come from :-( Do you have any idea? cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform.
