Re: Re: Upgrade to ipw2200-1.1.2: eth0 now refers to wireless card

Hi Unga,

Just my 5 cent: I too had the problem of changing interface names every 
now and then as well on my notebook and my desktop. My solution was:

Using udev-rules:

-) in /etc/udev create a file called "netinterfaces.rules" containing:

   KERNEL=="eth*",SYSFS{address}=="00:00:00:00:00:00",NAME="eth0"
   KERNEL=="eth*",SYSFS{address}=="00:00:00:00:00:00",NAME="eth1"

Replace the 00:00... by the MAC-address of your adapter.

-) in /etc/udev/rules.d create a link to this file:

   ln -s ../netinterfaces.rules 010_netinterfaces.rules

Restart udev - never had problems again.

Cheers, Martin
