http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/631759/ "Just resubmit it and I'll apply it, I'm so tired of hearing about this..." lol I'm relieved to see dmiller and others upstream had exactly the same concerns as me :) If he decided wasn't bad enough to reject it's good enough for me, although it is still a really bad design. I think the 73-usb-net-by-mac.rules needs to be changed to account for this weird situation, let's see what Debian thinks. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1843381 Title: Dell system takes a long time to connect network with external dock Status in OEM Priority Project: New Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: This is a bug reopen from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1837700 The original one caused systemd regressed. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1842651 This issue needs an alternative solution. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dell has a feature called MAC addrss passthrough[1] that would force usb ethernet adapters to be assigned with a predefined MAC address stored in BIOS or so. This feature has been landed to mainline kernel in driver r8152[2]. So whenever a r8152 managed device is plugged into Dell devices with MAC addrss passthrough enabled, this driver will set NIC MAC to a predefined one. And some Dell devices have already one built-in r8152 NIC port. On these devices, when a second r8152 NIC is plugged in, a Debian originated udev rules file 73-usb-net-by-mac.rules[3] will invoke udev built-in command `net_id` to give a persistent name, and that will be based on MAC address. However, since the system has already initialized the built-in r8152 NIC with that name, renaming the second interface with this name will always fail. While Debian still carries a patch called "Revert-udev-network-device- renaming-immediately-give.patch"[4] that tries to keep support of already deprecated "75-persistent-net-generator.rules" based interface renaming mechanism, this patch also propagated into Ubuntu[5]. This patch will retry renaming with a 90 seconds timeout when the error code is -EEXIST, so the uevent processing will always be blocked in the last ifrename step in the victim system.
