Hello, I am using Ubuntu with udev on a Linux machine >From time to time it happens that network devices are renamed after boot, and this is due to udev (I know for sure that the reason for this is uboot, because if I delete the udev network rules file from /etc/udev/rules.d/, and reboot again, this renaming does not occur). What I mean more specifically is this: I boot and I have (when running "ifconfig -a") eth0, eth1, eth2, eth3 (I have 4 network cards). sometimes after reboot I get with ""ifconfig -a" " the following : eth6, eth7, eth8, eth9 (I cannot specify at which occasions exactly does it happen, whether it is as a result of some setting I change, etc.) How can I prevent this renaming of network devices ? Can I somehow prevent udev renaming of network interfaces totally ? rgs, Kevin -- 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
