Hello,
Thanks for replying. As I have written, I am using no custom .rules or
.link file. /etc/udev/rules.d is empty and /etc/systemd/network only
contains .network files.
But I believe the problem would not change. As wether I rename an
interface or 99-default.link as part of systemd-networkd does it, should
make no difference.
The problem is, that sysctl.conf is being executed before the interfaces
get their eventual names.
What would work is disabling interface renaming alltogether by adding
net.ifnames=0 to the kernel, but those ethx names are not reliably
persistent. So nothing is really won here. Unless you only have one
interface, that is.
Unless I have missed somthing, that's why I am asking, those settings
would need to be moved from sysctl.conf to the [Network] section of a
corresponding unit file alltogether, so that systemd has control over it.
As a workaround I have set default values:
net.ipv6.conf.default.stable_secret=<hex>
net.ipv6.conf.default.addr_gen_mode=2
net.ipv6.conf.all.addr_gen_mode=2
But I am getting different results on two different machines. One, where
it works even on a systemd renamed link, and one, where it is not. Still
trying to figure out, why that is.
But the key should be to be able to set those on a per link base, what I
have not been able to do so far at all.

Do you have a udev 'persistent network device name' rules file in
/etc/udev/rules.d? Many distributions install such a rules file by
default, and this renames the interfaces to 'standard' names.

Hello,
I am trying to enable temporary and/or stable addresses for a link and
am most likely running into troubles with the device naming. However, I
do not change any network name myself, neither in udev nor as part or a
link file, it's just the standard system settings (from Arch, in case
that matters).
my sysctl.conf (both ens3 and eth0 refer to the same interface):
net.ipv6.conf.ens3.addr_gen_mode = 2
net.ipv6.conf.ens3.use_tempaddr = 2
net.ipv6.conf.eth0.addr_gen_mode = 2
net.ipv6.conf.eth0.use_tempaddr = 2
And the logs read:
journalctl -b0 | grep -E 'sysctl|ens3|eth0'
08:56:46 systemd[263]: systemd-sysctl.service: Executing:

As it appears to me, the eth0 settings from sysctl.conf have been
accepted - at least no errors are logged in this regard -, but are lost,
because the interface got renamed afterwards. The ens3 interface was not
yet known at time of invoking systemd-sysctl, and therefore we get the
errors. That in turn means, the settings are not being applied.
To make things worse, in sysctl.conf I've additionally set:
net.ipv6.conf.default.stable_secret=<some hex poem>
net.ipv6.conf.default.addr_gen_mode=2
net.ipv6.conf.all.addr_gen_mode=2
Which results in all IP address having a stable privacy scope link,
_execpt_ of course ens3. The one that would be by far most important.
What am I missing here? And insight is highly appreciated
Thanks
Ede
