Hello.

This week I had a little problem with udev. I had my pretty outdated system and the system made ​​a fairly significant upgrade. The udev version that I have right now is 2.15. I am trying to set the names of the interfaces by MAC, but does not work with eth2-eth0 properly because you want it to be is eth0 eth2 and vice versa.

The eth3 rule work perfect, no problem.

Udev rules I'm using is the one I saw in the gentoo wiki, is as follows:

Code:

SUBSYSTEM=="net", ATTR{address}=="54:14:a6:7e:51:bb", NAME="eth0"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ATTR{address}=="34:70:32:01:22:91", NAME="eth2"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ATTR{address}=="34:70:22:01:21:12", NAME="eth3"


"54:14:a6:7e:51:bb" is the integrated ethernet in motherboard.
"34:70:32:01:22:91" & "34:70:22:01:21:12" pci ethernet.


As I say not if I'm doing it correctly for the version I'm using udev. I hope you can tell me how to do it for this version if I'm not doing well.

I should add that I use OpenRC.

A greeting.

udev upstream has removed support for assigning names to devices that use the kernel namespace (specifically, ethX). If you want to continue doing that, swap udev for eudev and be sure to use the rule-generator USE flag (which I believe is on by default). Alternately, you can use net0 net1 net2 instead of eth0 eth1 eth2.

As with all upgrades, be certain to read the post install messages carefully, if any!

Also, you don't need to state "Open" in your title line: that's the default state of a thread. But it is always a good idea to mark when the thread is solved. :)

Which network manager are you using?
In case you left it all to dhcpcd you wouldn't have to care about those udev-generated new "predictable interface names". Those have to be cared for in case you used old netifrc.
