Wha? I swear I was told that you could not reliably name the
iterfaces eth[0-n] using udev rules (which is what I've always done
without problems) because of "race conditions". So I changed over to
net[0-n] on one machine, and was planning on doing so on the others
soon.
Can we still use udev rules to name interfaces eth[0-n] or not?
