Re: swapping interface names (again)

[MS Colclough <m.s.colclough@bham.ac.uk>]

I also found the Ubuntu patch (70-ifrename.patch).  Taking just the part
that deals with the rename_net_if() function, I found it to be exactly
what I want.  A pair of rules like
... SYSFS{address}="00:16:17:5a:e5:7e", NAME="eth0"
... SYSFS{address}="00:40:95:46:f4:16", NAME="eth1"
enforce the necessary stability, swapping the kernel names on occasions
when that proves necessary.

I would certainly like to see this merged with udev.  It's certainly
better than me telling users "you can have any names you like, except
those you are used to".

Thanks,   Mark
