This works on a Dell PowerEdge 2950 that presents the network interfaces to the OS backwards: SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:11:22:33:44:55", NAME="eth0" The syntax you used worked for me with Lenny, but udev changes in Squeeze need this syntax. -- Matt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
