Buster, computer with MAC identified Ethernet ports Is there a way to relabel Ethernet ports? Without changing things in a number of config files?
I see on the web that changing udev used to do that, but now there are at least 2 files to modify. I'm gently moving to a new ISP, and I'm trying to set up new, virtual IP addresses on my Enet ports. Webmin tells me that enp0s31f6 is too long. I could do it in /etc/network/interfaces, but Webmin does all that quite painlessly. Without typos. I'd like to replace the /dev/random names with something understandable to a mortal. I was thinking of creating an alias in /dev pointing eth0 at enp0s31f6. But where to put it? .bashrc would be convenient, but it'd be too late. In an init file? Is the s.*d word going to do init files forever? -- Glenn English
