Hi Thanks. I have looked at /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules before - the devicenames in there were correct but for some reason they were getting renamed. It seemed not to be reading that file but nothing turned up in the logs. And I don't have ifrename installed. I deleted the z25_persistent-net.rules before and ran /lib/udev/write_net_rules all_interfaces - it generated a new file with the device names as they currently were (with _rename). Edited the file, restarted udev and now it's right. Not sure why it didn't work right in the first place. Thanks Hans -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
