 |
|
So, I'm trying to work with my Beaglebone Black and, per their instructions, I created the following file in /etc/udev/rules.d:
73-beaglebone.rules:
| Code: |
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_interface", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0403", ATTRS{idProduct}=="a6d0", DRIVER=="", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe -b ftdi_sio"
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="drivers", ENV{DEVPATH}=="/bus/usb-serial/drivers/ftdi_sio", ATTR{new_id}="0403 a6d0"
ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="ttyUSB*", ATTRS{interface}=="BeagleBone", ATTRS{bInterfaceNumber}=="00", SYMLINK+="beaglebone-jtag"
ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="ttyUSB*", ATTRS{interface}=="BeagleBone", ATTRS{bInterfaceNumber}=="01", SYMLINK+="beaglebone-serial"

When I connect my beaglebone to my machine's via the USB cable, I see the following in dmesg:

I'm ok with most of this, but I'm wondering why it's choosing the crazy network interface name? Looking at those udev rules, I would have expected it to create a network name of "usb". But, instead it is renaming the decently sensible name of "eth1" to enp0s29u1u5? What the heck is that about?
Is this some new udev behavior designed to avoid predictable interface names or something?

Yes it's the new udev interface naming scheme. I usually just create my own interface names because I don't like the way it names it either. I use a u770 modem which uses the same setup. Here's what I do:
KERNEL=="usb[0-9]*", ACTION=="add", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1fac", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0232", NAME="net3"
net3 is the name of the network interface that I want it to create instead of that crazy name. |
