Hi list,

 disclaimer: I know that I run ancient version of udev. But: 1) that's
what my distro ships in -current and upgrading udev is non-trivial; 
2) it worked all the way up to 2.6.17-rc1; 3) Greg K-H suggested posting
here.

 So, to recap:
Starting with kernel 2.6.17-rc1 my network devices are often not renamed
by udev. I've booted 4 times, 3 times udev failed to rename. Modules are
loaded (eth0,1,2 appear).
 I have udev version 064 with Slackware -current. I have also
hotplug-2004_09_23-noarch-1 installed.
 Relevant rules:

% cat /etc/udev/rules.d/sieciowki.rules
# sieciowki
KERNEL="eth*", SYSFS{address}="00:07:e9:15:0e:cb", NAME="ep0", RUN+="/etc/dev.d/net/ep0-up.dev"
KERNEL="eth*", SYSFS{address}="00:50:8d:e9:ec:c1", NAME="nf", RUN+="/etc/dev.d/net/nf-up.dev"

  I'm attaching dmesg's recorded at the end of boot procedure from
working (2.6.16) and failing (2.6.17-rc1) kernels. Also, .config from
latter kernel.
  Please keep me CC'ed and tell me what additional information may I
provide.
