I ran into something like this recently when switching to systemd udev from eudev. When I rebooted, my interface names were changed. Here's what you can try, maybe it will work. Do ifconfig and see what it is named exactly. This is the relevant part of mine: root@fireball / # ifconfig enp3s0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 <<< SNIP >>> Mine is named enp3s0. So, the file needs to be named net.enp3s0. I think you have that already but that will confirm your info. So, you need to create a file that links to net.lo. Mine looks like this: root@fireball / # ls -al /etc/init.d/net* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Mar 1 2012 /etc/init.d/net.enp3s0 -> net.lo I was in KDE so I used graphical tools. In Krusader as root, must be root to do this, I right clicked the net.lo file then selected Link Handling. It should pop up and ask you for a name. When it does, give it the file name for your card but don't forget to put "net." in front of it. Whatever you do, don't delete net.lo or overwrite it. I'm not sure what all problems that would cause but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be good. :-( If you don't have Krusader, whatever tool you use that has root privileges should have a way to create a link. If you don't use a graphical file manager that has root abilities, man ln and create the link with it. I haven't used ln in so long, I can't recall the proper way off the top of my head but it is pretty simple. I think what they call a soft link is enough. As long as it looks similar to mine above, you should be fine. Once you do one of those, you should be able to start, stop and restart your network. Hope that helps. Dale :-) :-) Oh, I looked in the Gentoo wiki, I couldn't find a way to do this there. Either my search abilities are lacking or it isn't there. Maybe it's in the handbook. Since the handbook moved to the wiki, it just isn't the same. If you searched before asking, it's no wonder you couldn't find a answer.
