I think this should be considered an udev bug most of all things, since if the udev scripts did it right, this wouldn't happen. A "right" way to do this would for example be to first rename all devices to "tmpwhatever0", then rename them back to their proper ethX names. Now I don't know even a single bit about udev scripting, so maybe this isn't possible with the current udev infrastructure, but there's certainly no kernel part stopping a proper implementation. Btw, what happened to nameif(8)? It's totally outdated (and deprecated I guess?), but it got the job done... -David -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-pci" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
