no support for kernel side predictable interface names where the naming |

should |

*really* be happening, eudev will always rename your interfaces with or |
| 19 |
without USE="rule-generator" |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
to be explicit, eudev will ignore /lib/udev/hwdb.d/20-net-ifname.hwdb, |

eudev will rename interfaces |

marked as predictable by the kernel metadata, as in, eudev doesn't |

eudev is really useful only for sys-libs/musl users at this time, but |
| 32 |
you are free to experiment with it! |
