eth0_rename
When I load my wireless driver, be it ndiswrapper or bcm43xxx, the interface comes up as eth0_rename or wlan0_rename, and I see this in dmesg: wlan0: ethernet device 00:14:a5:2a:04:28 using NDIS driver: bcmwl5, version: 0x40a2801, NDIS version: 0x501, vendor: '', 14E4:4318.5.conf wlan0: encryption modes supported: WEP; TKIP with WPA, WPA2, WPA2PSK; AES/CCMP with WPA, WPA2, WPA2PSK ndiswrapper: changing interface name from 'wlan0' to 'wlan0_rename' usbcore: registered new interface driver ndiswrapper Anybody know why? It's not too much of a problem, the interface still works, it just looks out of place. Thanks Hans -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

It's not too much of a problem, the interface still works, it just looks out of place. Do you have ifrename installed? If yes, just get rid of it and run /lib/udev/write_net_rules instead; this will generate udev-based persistent naming rules for your network devices; you can modify them by editing the file /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules. What to edit should be pretty clear; if not, have look at this[0] howto.

Hi Thanks. I have looked at /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules before - the devicenames in there were correct but for some reason they were getting renamed. It seemed not to be reading that file but nothing turned up in the logs. And I don't have ifrename installed. I deleted the z25_persistent-net.rules before and ran /lib/udev/write_net_rules all_interfaces - it generated a new file with the device names as they currently were (with _rename). Edited the file, restarted udev and now it's right. Not sure why it didn't work right in the first place. Thanks Hans -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Still working after several reboots :-) Thanks Hans -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
