4 Yes, i agree. But i have thought about it, and i wonder, if it's going
5 to work if:
6
7 1. udev loads the modules which results in a "natural order": saying
8 eth0 and eth1 are used.
9 2. my udev-rules say, that the network-card which has the "natural name"
10 eth1 has to be called eth0
11
12 Will udev rename the card eth1 to eth0 and the card eth0 to eth1?
13
14 Maybe udev also loads the modules in a way, so that the cards don't get
15 any "natural name" by the kernel and instead, the udev-daemon has the
16 full power to assign the names.
