But stable Ethernet interface names suddenly becoming unstable in out of the box upgrades is not funny either. Yes, there are solutions, but at least one of these needs to be installed in a default installation of Debian. "Network interfaces may be renamed after sarge to etch upgrades" is acceptable. "Network interfaces may completely lose any stable naming and may be randomly named after every reboot after sarge to etch upgrades unless you manually install some additional software" is not. -- vbi -- get my gpg key here: http://fortytwo.ch/gpg/92082481
