It is a hack work around found through google, but it solved the problem with the adapter changing on each reboot... when using a static IP.
Remove all lines of various eth0, eth1, eth2 and so on and replace them with this line: SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="forcedeth", NAME="eth0" Adjust your driver, and the name of the adapter as you need it / want it. -- [Gutsy] broken 70-persistent-net.rules https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/145382 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
