FWIW this behaviour is still present in Ubuntu 10.04. I am using Ubuntu in Virtual Box where it is all too easy to change MAC addresses.
The certain fix, with a single card, is to replace the entire contents of /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules (in effect the history of all cards seen) with the single, "catch all" rule: SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", NAME="eth0" The single interface, regardless of type or MAC address is then named eth0 I tried multiple interfaces with similar lines (NAME= eth1, eth2 etc) but the order in which rules are processed (or interfaces detected?) does not appear predictable. It was quite common to see interfaces named, for example, "eth1_renamed" -- upgrading to Jaunty renamed eth0 to eth1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/329106 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
