Interesting. But may I ask  a full identification (manufacturer, model
at  least)  of  an  system  that showed  the  problem  of  having  the
interfaces  have not  a stable  name  between reboots?  I am  _really_
curious to know of one of them.

The ONLY  time I have seen  this was with  a template VM. Each  new vm
started from the base image  had a different "hardware identification"
(MAC? - it was some years ago, can't remember the full details).  that
changed eth0 to eth1, eth2... A  quick fix to the udev scripts removed
the problem.

Hey,  /etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules seems  the udev  file I
worked on.

This  does not  change the  amount of  work in  Miles forecasts,  just
changes it.
