I was wondering about this, too. Michael Biebl bug reproduction test did not involve a reboot ('udevadm trigger --action=add' regenerates, sources, or re-reads---I don't know the correct term--the rule in '/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules'). So with a rule in that file he unloaded and reloaded his network module (and all was good, the interface adopting the custom name defined in the file). Then he ran udevadm trigger --action=add reproducing the bug (interface renamed to a default name though a custom name was set in '70-persistent-net.rules'). > Shade and sweet water! > > Stephan
