Want to get rid of eth1_rename [SOLVED] (udev103 and network

I've suddenly lost my eth1 device, which is used for my wireless connection. It's been replaced by eth1_rename. I understand from other posts that udev is causing this, but I haven't yet gotten clear on just how to straighten things out.

I'd like to get eth1 back rather than change my wireless utilities to eth1_rename.

I haven't added new devices, so this must be due to a udev upgrade.

Mod: If you think this post fits better in Networking and Security, please move it. I wasn't sure where to post it, since it's really a udev question. Thanks.

If you have udev-103, the easiest thing to do is run "/lib/udev/write_net_rules all_interfaces". Then change the eth0/eth1 naming in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules as necessary.

Thank you, richfish. That worked perfectly.

Will this eventually be a part of the udev ebuild, or will this need to be run seperately from now on?

This is just a work-around for a bug in UDEV.
I've written a patch to fix the issue:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=158531

I have been ignored with this bug, but the proper way to fix the bug is to fix the C code, not to alter the configuration.

You might get more attention when you say you've actually tested it and it works, instead of implying that you haven't actually used your own fix yet, letalone that it works properly.

I got bitten with this whilst adding a new Gigabit NIC to my Mythtv Gentoo box. I wondered why my NIC was not getting recognised as eth0 even though the onboard NIC was disabled in BIOS.

Switching the two lines for each card worked in

Code: Select all

/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

Ta!

With a non-buggy udev you'll not need to do that.

Arrrggggghhh!!!!!

Why cannot I learn from past mistakes. I just switched motherboards, and got bitten by this once again. Wondering why my new NIC was not being recognised as ETH0!!

Doh!!

I just went through this myself few weeks ago when I switched out my whole rig, luckily I was able to figure it out on my own. I was going
to just delete:

Code: Select all

/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

As udev would just make a new one next time you reboot(or restart udev) instead I just opened the file up saw that it was only two lines first line being the interface from my old interface and second line being from the new one.
So at that point said simple enough just delete the first line and change the eth1 to eth0 done.

I am a new user on the forum and look forward to using this forum in the future. I am very new to and am in need of some help.
What "user" and "host" show up in the for that statement? Does that help any? Can you change the password on that user? That would prevent them, and might get the guy in the next cubicle complaining. You could turn on the "general log"; it might give you some extra clues
