Even though the old version of the script worked I think technically
the script was never correct. Maybe it was just udev being changed to
more closely match behaviour as it is expected to be applied else where?
Whatever the case I had to modify the script changing things that were
being evaluated to a == sign where before I had a single = sign which
now gets interpreted as setting a value. What I am using currently
looks like this:
# Start of udev rule for static ethernet device names.
#
# Place in /etc/udev then from the command line do 'chmod 0644' then
# 'ln -s /etc/udev/static-nic.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/025_static-nic.rules'
#
# Mapping specific MAC address to specific device names to ensure
# predictable behaviour with things that expect a specific network card
# to show up with the same name.
#
# SYSFS{address}=="MAC address" - MAC address should be the machine
# address of the network card the rule is for. Double == because this
# is a comparison
#
# NAME="name" - name is the device name you want used for the interface.
# These could be standard names eth0, wlan0, etc... or if you prefer
# something more descriptive lan, internet, wireless, etc... Single =
# because we are setting the name
KERNEL=="eth*", SYSFS{address}=="00:01:02:03:04:05", NAME="wireless"
KERNEL=="eth*", SYSFS{address}=="10:11:12:13:14:15", NAME="ethernet"
# End udev rule
Later, Seeker
