Hi folks, since some time the names for network devices have changed. So its is no more "ethX" , but "enp1s10" or similar or "wlan0" and now "wlp5s0". You know, what I mean. This is made by the kernel. However, I discovered many packages, where are still the old names preconfigured with the old names. I think, this may be led to confusion, so let me offer some suggestions: - during installation there should be an advice, to check the name of the interface or - interface entries should be generally commented, so that the user has forcedly to check the entry or - preconfigure (and repreconfigure) configs, which are preinstalled with the new names I know, the last one might be problematic, because the developer never can know, whhich interface is used (eth0? eth1? wlan0? whatever) For myself I got the solution: just edited all configs to the new names, but I believe, for unexperienced users, this could be problematic. And I also believe, an unexperienced user gets in trouble, when nobody points him, where to look. You do not need to look for a solution for me, I just wanted to remember this thing and hope, we should keep this little problem in mind. Maybe this is worth a discussion, if not, please excuse the noise. Best regards Hans
