9 I'll caveat this a bit. It works fine in simple cases - onboard GigE.
10 But in systems with add-in ethernet, GigE, or 10GigE cards,
11 /lib/udev/write_net_rules will usually make the add-in card eth0. Some
12 Quad GigE cards have rather weird port setups or PCI-bridge addressing
13 schemes that end up with port 2 of 4 as eth0.
14
15 In those cases, it's best to write 70-persistent-net.rules the way you
16 want it. But remember - the mac addr has to be lower case, and all the
17 syntax correct or udev will re-write it.
