Subject: Specifying netdev name on kernel boot?
Date: Thu, 15 Aug 2013 08:50:19 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <520CF8BB.2080702@candelatech.com> (raw)
It seems they finally broke udev in Fedora 19...it can no longer
rename ethX to ethY, for whatever reason.
Is there a way to specify the naming on the kernel command line?
I found something in google that made me think this might work:
ifname=eth0:00:30:48:fc:17:a2 ifname=eth1:00:30:48:fc:17:a3 ifname=eth2:00:e0:ed:1c:ec:e4 ifname=eth3:00:e0:ed:1c:ec:e5
but it doesn't seem to have any affect.
I'm using ixgbe and e1000e drivers, loaded as modules, in case that matters.
Thanks,
Ben
