I am trying to build a VM appliance, someone converted it to a different vm engine (vmware / qemu) and now the networking is broke because eth0 doesn't exist due to the new VM having a different mac. I could add "set your mac to 123" but that's annoying. I am guessing I can remove the reference to my mac, but I would rather stop the behaviour so that the image can be booted in different environments without eth0 being renamed. I also want to do something similar with bootable USB drives, so I am going to run into the same problem. -- Carl K -- 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
