Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: udev
The switch from /etc/iftab to /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
can break existing setups. There should be an automatic conversion of
rules or at least a warning in NEWS.
My iftab assigned 'lan' and 'wifi' to the interfaces on my laptop. These
interfaces names are used by the firewall setup (shorewall).
After upgrading udev, the interfaces were named 'eth0' and 'eth1' because of
the new rules and the firewall blocked all traffic.
** Affects: udev (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
