-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 My original reply to got held for moderation because of too many recipients. Well, I canceled it and readdressed this one. Let's try again. Good morning, Before we go any further, let me just let you know I'm a Gentoo user, not a Debian user. However, I feel the issue is for the most part related as is the fix to it. The renaming of eth0 to eth1 by udev is most likely something in your udev rules. Many distros will do this so that devices won't change device name. I'll bet what you did was to take an existing Linux install from one machine (orchid, perhaps?) and slap it on magnolia. In that case, the old machine's MAC would be registered with udev as eth0, and the current one in magnolia would be assigned eth1. Don't worry though, this assignment can be corrected. To fix it, you just have to find the set of rules in your udev configuration that mapps your ethernet interfaces based on MAC address. On my system, that file is: /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules There is one line for each of my network interfaces. If you just delete these lines, then udev will remap the interfaces next time you reboot, which will result in your actual interface getting eth0. You could probably even remove the file entirely and it would forget all mappings and create new ones when you reboot. That's how I handle things when it does this. Let me stress once again that the file might be in a different place under Debian, or it may not be set up like this at all. But have a poke around /etc/udev and see if maybe you can find a similar file. Ok, that's how you fix your current problem. There is a little more information below for anyone interested in disabling the persistent network interface naming behavior altogether. It's completely optional in this context, so you can simply skip it if you're not interested. If you don't like this persistent network interface behavior (I really don't myself) you can disable it altogether by removing the set of rules which generates these persistent interface names. Be careful if you decide to do this. On my system, that file is: /etc/udev/rules.d/75-persistent-net-generator.rules If I were to remove this file, as well as /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules it would completely disable that behavior.
