That was not true with the old persistent naming. One example which we |
| 6 |
encountered in #gentoo IRC was the split between e1000 and e1000e drivers |

which caused interfaces to change names. |

It's even worse, if you mess with kernel parameters (esp. pci=assign-busses |
| 13 |
for PCMCIA) then the device numbering might change without hardware moving |
| 14 |
around. |
