Message-Id: <44BFD599.4050005@cc.jyu.fi> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable To: linux-hotplug@vger.kernel.org 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. http://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id!717 Is this something that could be fixed to upstream udev rules and could already know howto handle this there?
