I'm not completely opposed to switching to the new name method. Your info about it being in dmesg is helpful. Now I know where that name is exactly. ;-) Do I just rename my current net.eth* files to the new way and it works or do I need to do something else or is there a automatic way to do this? That makes sense and was on my suspect list. I just didn't know where to get the new name from. Dale :-) :-)
