# # Udev 197 and above has implemented predictable network interface names # for hardware network interfaces. This new scheme does not affect # stacked network interfaces such as bonds, bridges or vlans. # # This file is here to prevent your interfaces from being renamed automatically, # because the new names will be drastically different from the eth*, wlan*, etc # names you are used to working with. # # To activate this function, copy 80-net-setup-link.rules from /lib/udev/rules.d/ # to /etc/udev/rules.d/ # Deleting the file from /etc/udev/rules.d/ works too but when you re-emerge # the current stable udev it will restore this dummy file there if it isn't there # already! # # If you want to deactivate this function, install a udev rules file as # /etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-setup-link.rules then reboot your system. # # This functionality has not been tested with gentoo. In fact, we are aware that # things will break if you activate it. # # If you are not comfortable testing this, leave this file as is. We will # publish a news item when you can migrate. # # If you do want to activate and help us come up with a migration plan, feel # free to do so and report bugs. # Your bugs should block the following tracker: # https://bugs.gentoo.org/454224 # # Before you activate this function, it is important that you fully understand # the following documentation: # # http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames # # Also, be aware that you can get the attributes of your network interface that # would be used to name the interface in the new scheme by doing the following # with this version of udev running: # # udevadm test-builtin net_id /sys/class/net/ifname 2> /dev/null # # for example, on my system, I can find that eth0's new name would be enp1s5. #
