Thanks for that explanation Pitti! THat makes sense now that I've read the thread.
I wouldn't suggest making changes here for the sake of convenience, I also admit that I am a special corner case in this matter. Would it be a safe assumption that if I can decipher how to write a udev rule for network devices, I should be able to rename them myself? I think, knowing what you described above, that would be fine since this is intended behaviour. It just caught me off guard as this is the first time running anything but Trusty on this hardware and the only time I generally run an interim release is in VMs or Cloud instances which almost always only have one network device anyway. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1544747 Title: Strange device names for USB NICs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1544747/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
