Re: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth1: link is not ready [solved]

[Ross Boylan <RossBoylan@stanfordalumni.org>]

For the record, I tried Florian's approach of renaming using udev
rules, but avoiding the standard eth0, eth1, ... names.  And it seems
to work.

The new names appear only under /sys, not under /dev.

And thanks, Florian, for a very helpful response.

I'm still puzzled by the whole /dev vs /sys thing: why there aren't
entries in /dev for ethernet and why udev, advertised as something to
manage /dev, is changing /sys.  But I'm hoping it will now work
reliably.
