Subject: howto keep fixed name for the usbnet interface?
Date: Thu, 20 Jul 2006 19:12:25 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <44BFD599.4050005@cc.jyu.fi> (raw)
I am using Mandriva's development version (cooker) and I am used to
connect my ipaq to desktop computer by using usb-cable and then
boot the iPAQ to Linux in a way that usbnet connection is created.
With the udev 0.94 Mandriva is using, the usb interface name does not
stay anymore as a usb0, instead it is changing everytime I boot the iPAQ
to Linux.
(usb1 in second boot, usb2 in third boot). This probably happens because
in the kernel's usbnet.c, the MAC address for usbnet is randomly generated
by not initializing an array. In mandriva, there is following bug entry
describing the details.

Is this something that could be fixed to upstream udev rules and could
already know howto handle this there?
