Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xen-tools
Gutsy's persistent network interface naming udev rules are causing Xen
instances to have a new network interface name each time a DomU is
booted. This is because Xen is dynamically generating a MAC for the
DomU, and the /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules file stores the
persistent name based on the MAC address. Rules like the following
resolve the issue:
SUBSYSTEM=="net", SUBSYSTEMS=="xen", DRIVERS=="vif",
ATTRS{nodename}=="device/vif/0", NAME="eth0"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", SUBSYSTEMS=="xen", DRIVERS=="vif",
ATTRS{nodename}=="device/vif/1", NAME="eth1"
etc....
I have been adding them to /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules manually,
but they should probably be handled elsewhere.
