Got a little busy with my garden. Found my first zucchini yesterday.
Ready to pick in a few days. Found some small tomatoes too. Anyway.
Did manage to create this rule tho. This look reasonable? I'm thinking
it should be named something else tho. It could clash with the usual
name.
# PCI device 0x11ab:0x4363 (Intel e1000e)
#SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*",
ATTR{address}=="68:05:ca:42:17:39",ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1",
KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="enp3s0"
I got the ATTR address from ifconfig. I'm not real sure on the other
ATTR variables tho.
I did this on my main rig. It is commented out at the moment. I'll use
it as a guide on the NAS box tho. May enable this on my main rig, just
so they all the same.
Ironically, I removed the net.enp* from the default runlevel and put
dhcpd back. It starts no matter where the card is located with that.
It just sees it, starts it and carries on. Still, I'd like all my
installs to be done the same way. It's hard enough to remember how to
do things. :/
Thanks.
