The renames running in parallel would conflict. I'm told that DavidZ fixed this a recent udev, but I haven't confirmed this is the case. Regardless, this begs the question of how to name newly added NICs. Today's method involves a human fixing up 70-persistent-net.rules to match what they want it to be. I hate that, when the platform itself can provide a perfectly good answer. -- Matt Domsch Technology Strategist, Dell Office of the CTO linux.dell.com & www.dell.com/linux -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
