Maybe adding the network adapters to udev rules should be done build-wide so that we can eliminate the possibility of unintentional renamings.

XO communications interface naming
From a practical perspective though, in XOs, the onboard interface is always eth0 these days. I don't have wireless - am using an USB-ethernet adapter instead. Once upon a time, my G1G1 XO would set up its wired interface on 'eth0'. I normally run Joyride, and in the last couple of months there has been __NO__ regularity in which interface name is used for which communications interface -- one build will give the 'eth0' name to the wired interface, the next build will give the 'eth1' name to the wired interface, the subsequent build is back to 'eth0', and so on. [Often, when the interface is 'eth1', the radio interface (to the non-existent school ?) is given the name 'eth2' -- but the mesh interface name remains 'msh0'.] I've given up trying to make any sense out of the names given to the communications interfaces - I just 'ifconfig' and look for the wired IP address. mikus p.s. If my XO ever suspends, the wired interface is NOT resumed (and all interfaces get set to the inboard radio). [Maybe 'suspend' is something to be avoided by systems having an active antenna.] ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
