Hi Boss, So sorry to mail you in this rude way (if you look into this mail, I know is not support mail, but god guide missing people, right? ) I am finding a solution to my problem?. I have some machines with 8 net interfaces, I want to name one as eth0, I need a solution to work for all machine ( I will clone OS from one to others), so I could not just modify the rule file under /etc/udev/rules.d I need setup a math condition works for all machine. I want to change /lib/udev/rules.d/75-persistent-net-generator.rules file to only match MACs But my problem is that interface names turn out did not ordered by MACs, It suppose 00:0d:48:08:92:9a named as eth0, but not. Is there any way to let interfaces named by MACs order? root@APM:~# dmesg |grep eth [ 10.429663] e1000e 0000:03:00.0: eth0: (PCI Express:2.5GB/s:Width x4) 00:0d:48:08:92:9b [ 10.429665] e1000e 0000:03:00.0: eth0: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection [ 10.429742] e1000e 0000:03:00.0: eth0: MAC: 0, PHY: 1, PBA No: C85839-002 [ 12.421678] e1000e 0000:03:00.1: eth1: (PCI Express:2.5GB/s:Width x4) 00:0d:48:08:92:9a [ 12.421680] e1000e 0000:03:00.1: eth1: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection [ 12.421756] e1000e 0000:03:00.1: eth1: MAC: 0, PHY: 1, PBA No: C85839-002 [ 16.061712] e1000e 0000:04:00.0: eth2: (PCI Express:2.5GB/s:Width x4) 00:0d:48:08:92:9d [ 16.061714] e1000e 0000:04:00.0: eth2: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection [ 16.061791] e1000e 0000:04:00.0: eth2: MAC: 0, PHY: 1, PBA No: C85839-002 [ 17.041738] e1000e 0000:04:00.1: eth3: (PCI Express:2.5GB/s:Width x4) 00:0d:48:08:92:9c [ 17.041740] e1000e 0000:04:00.1: eth3: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection [ 17.041817] e1000e 0000:04:00.1: eth3: MAC: 0, PHY: 1, PBA No: C85839-002 [ 17.582614] e1000e 0000:08:00.0: eth4: (PCI Express:2.5GB/s:Width x1) 00:0d:48:27:86:9d [ 17.582616] e1000e 0000:08:00.0: eth4: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection [ 17.582694] e1000e 0000:08:00.0: eth4: MAC: 4, PHY: 8, PBA No: FFFFFF-0FF [ 17.697014] e1000e 0000:07:00.0: eth5: (PCI Express:2.5GB/s:Width x1) 00:0d:48:27:86:9c [ 17.697016] e1000e 0000:07:00.0: eth5: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection [ 17.697094] e1000e 0000:07:00.0: eth5: MAC: 4, PHY: 8, PBA No: FFFFFF-0FF [ 17.818793] e1000e 0000:06:00.0: eth6: (PCI Express:2.5GB/s:Width x1) 00:0d:48:27:86:9b [ 17.818794] e1000e 0000:06:00.0: eth6: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection [ 17.818872] e1000e 0000:06:00.0: eth6: MAC: 4, PHY: 8, PBA No: FFFFFF-0FF [ 17.938778] e1000e 0000:05:00.0: eth7: (PCI Express:2.5GB/s:Width x1) 00:0d:48:27:86:9a [ 17.938780] e1000e 0000:05:00.0: eth7: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection [ 17.938859] e1000e 0000:05:00.0: eth7: MAC: 4, PHY: 8, PBA No: FFFFFF-0FF Yan Xiao -- 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
