Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: udev
I think the summary says it all, but anyway... :)
I had the following interfaces in /etc/iftab, and with feisty this was
ok:
eth0 mac 00:0E:7B:A2:F7:2C
eth1 mac 00:0E:35:A9:3A:FF
When upgrading to gutsy, a couple of days ago, /etc/iftab was converted
in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules. Migration script commented
out said interfaces in iftab, and copied mac addresses verbatim in new
file. Then, it (i presume) added a couple more interfaces (eth2 and
eth3) with same mac addresses, only lower case.
At boot, my interfaces were then named eth2 and eth3, breaking some of
my previous configurations. A quick edit on 70-persistent-net.rules
switched all back to normality, anyway I think this case should be
addressed properly by upgrade process, in order not to confuse users.
Thank you for your time.
