The problem is very likely within hal resp. udev (n-m uses the information provided by hal) What does lshal | grep net show? Using ifrename is not race free and deprecated, I'd strongly suggest you let udev do the renaming: /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules Cheers, Michael -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
