udev foolishness in wheezy
Greetings all;
I am in the process of building up an old MSI K8M890M2-V motherboard,
with an Athlon 64X2 at 3.8Ghz on it, to be used for cnc machine control,
and while I finally did get networking up and running, I was amazed to
find that udev would create an eth0 on finding an 8139too on the
motherboard, this is in dmesg, but then renames it to eth5! Fixing
my /etc/network/interfaces file to bring up eth5 made it work normally.
But call me bumfuzzled by that remaning, what genius thought that was a
good idea?
And I've not found an entry in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net that
would explain it. Can someone advise as to the reasoning for that?
Cheers, Gene Heskett
