I've been looking around a bit and I came up with the following: http://www.wlug.org.nz/UDev and http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7316 To be clear: I do not use udev on any of my servers, so I cannot test it myself. But from the config from lionel I guess people are making the mistake into thinking that mac-addressess are unique, but they are not. The only correct method which will probably support *all* variants of pci cards that have the same mac-address (like the sparc), or none at all (there are a lot of cards that came without a valid mac-address, or where it simply isn't possible to look it up, like the lp486e): The match should be (in most cases): BUS="pci", ID="00:0b.0" ... and none of that mac addresses, please :-). In other busses than pci there probably is another valid item, or it is not needed at al. I assume it wil also fix vlan being incorrectly renamed.
