Re: udev-067 and 2.6.12?

[David Brown <dmlb2000@gmail.com>]

Hmmmm, never tried renaming my ethernet or wireless devices with udev rules.
Always just kept what they gave me...

but you might try
KERNEL="eth[0-9]*", SYSFS{address}="00:11:09:65:78:c7", NAME="wlan%n"
Maybe... not to sure about that though...

%n should be the number match so it will make eth0 become wlan0 etc.
might not quite be what you are looking for :-\
