it unlocks many cool features!
- If you choose to modify them, you must use free namespace (like net*
- or internet*) instead of kernel namespace (like eth* or wlan*)
- because in-place renaming has been deprecated, see small
- documentation of it if you like[2].
- The file 70-persistent-net.rules, like the 70-persistent-cd.rules
- should be removed, so if you modify, rename the file also to something
- else like 70-my-network.rules to silence the deprecation warning coming
- from the end of the sys-fs/udev emerge.
- This is the old format with reserved namespace:
- SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", ATTR{address}=="xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx", NAME="eth0"
- SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", ATTR{address}=="yy:yy:yy:yy:yy:yy", NAME="eth1"
- This is the new format with free namespace:
- SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", ATTR{address}=="xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx", NAME="net0"
- SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", ATTR{address}=="yy:yy:yy:yy:yy:yy", NAME="net1"
- 4. predictable network interface names:
- If /etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules is an empty file or a
- symlink to /dev/null, the new names will be disabled and the kernel will
- do all the interface naming, and the resulting names may vary by kernel
- configuration, hardware configuration and kernel version.
- Also, the forementioned old 70-persistent-net.rules might interfere with
- the new predictable interface names.
- You can get attributes of your network interfaces using a command like
- the following (replace eth0 with the name of the appropriate interface):
- # udevadm test-builtin net_id /sys/class/net/eth0 2> /dev/null
- You can copy /lib/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules to
- /etc/udev/rules.d and specify the attributes and in which order
- they will be used for naming. See upstream wiki[3] for detailed list
- of options.
- You can prepare the system for the new names before booting for example
- by renaming /etc/init.d/net.* symlinks, editing /etc/conf.d/net, etc.
- The feature can also be completely disabled using net.ifnames=0 on the
- kernel command line.
- If you only have one interface card, you don't necessarily have much
- use for this feature as the name almost always stays at eth0, you can
- easily disable it using forementioned methods.
- This feature can also replace the functionality of sys-apps/biosdevname,
- but you can still keep using it if you want.
- In a normal new installation there are no files in /etc/udev/rules.d
- and if you haven't edited any files you have in there, you should most
- likely backup and delete them all if they don't belong to any packages.
- The official wiki has a dedicated page for udev upgrade notes[4].
