Quoting Robert Donovan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Make sure there's not an eth0 for ethernet over usb or firewire or something.

This nonsense is really frustrating, I was under the impression that
udev's purpose was persistent naming, not persistent renaming, of
devices.

I thought the purpose of udev was to make the devices tree populated automatically by things that exist rather then having to create files using mknod manually and keeping them around forever. Plus linking to thinks like the /dev/disk/by-id or /dev/disk/by-path stuff.

Persistance is a side-effect if it's configured to do so AFAIK, and is based on the above newer paths/links vs the old school /dev/$dev stuff.

In the back of the room are four Apple ][e computers. Apple ][e ... my God.
How can our educational system be this neglected? What a geek I am to be
fretting over the lack of computing power available to the students. Kids
smoking crack? It's only drugs. Teenage pregnancy? The responsibility of a
newborn will add character. 6502 CPUs with 64K of RAM, daisychained to a
single low-density 5 1/4" floppy drive? Great Scott! Are we not barbarians
for stranding our future generations on a precarious foundation strung
together with 8-bit processors and low-resolution graphics?
