> In my special case, persistent udev net rules cannot be generated by the

> Steps to reproduce:
> 1) install silan sc92031 (or realtek 8139D) nic in your pc
> 2) recompile and install kernel 2.6.24 (sysfs enabled) with sc92031 driver
> either in-kernel or as a module
> 3) reboot or load sc92031 module
> 4) make sure sysfs is mounted on /sys
