39 Regarding your now solved problem, I don't have such file
40 (70-persistent-net.rules) in my rules.d directory, it seems that it
41 has something to do with automatic udev configuration. I don't have
42 any idea on WHY or WHEN this is run. It appears to be run by some rule
43 in UDEV configuration writting persistent net devices.
44
45 Maybe someone else will have a better idea... They'll probably need
46 your UDEV version...
