 |
|
Hi, I'm having a little issue with my networking names. Instead of the traditional net.eth0 (or other numbers), my network devices run as net.enp6s0, and enp7s0. Now this hasn't really been an issue on my system until I started trying to get hplip working, and cupsd wants eth0.
So my question is: Is there a way to fix this? Is it some sort of kernel parameter? I just installed Gentoo and got up and running (with a TON of help from several here, thankfully). As far as the network goes, it's working great, so I'm not sure what measures I need to take.
Thanks
Todd

add net.ifnames=1 to your kernel cmdline.

Okay, something's wrong, I did that, and I'm still getting the same problem. By adding net.ifnames=1 to my kernel cmdline, I assume you mean in /etc/default/grub, correct?
Please tell me if I'm missing something
Thanks

Try doing this instead (then reboot):
| Code: | | true >| /etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules |

It should be
net.ifnames=1 does the opposite. It enables interface names like enp6/7s0.
Please note: either use net.ifnames=0 OR the /etc/udev/rules.d trick - not both. |
