Hi,
I'm very happy with ability to replace not reliable nameif with udev.
After few greps over udev-023 source I'm little confused.
Do I have to identify my network cards with PCI ID? I would strongly
prefer MAC address instead. It's available in sysfs:
cat /sys/class/net/ep0/address
00:07:e9:15:0e:cb
Is it possible with current udev?

Any value in sysfs should work. I'm using:
KERNEL="eth*", SYSFS{address}="00:0d:60:77:30:91", NAME="private"
thanks,

yep,
use SYSFS{address}="xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" as the match part of the rule
and it will work, that's it :)
by the way, thanks to all udev developers and the guy that never
sleeps, who made this tiny little binary; I use it in initrd to boot
my dm-crypt'ed root, to manage all /dev at real boot and after, and to
set my 3 ethernet cards to "external", "private" and "dmz" names.
Seems like 2.6 changed many things in Linux world, all that with
stability ;)

Try something like:
KERNEL="eth*", SYSFS{address}="00:0d:60:77:30:91", NAME="myethX"

Very very nice to hear from someone using it successfully. I'm happy
to hear, that udev finds its place on the boxes out there, now.
thanks for the feedback,
Kay
