In /etc/conf.d/net you should replace the previously named eth0 directives to |
| 29 |
your new NIC name, e.g. instead of: |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
config_eth0="dhcp" |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
you will use the new name: |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
config_enp0s3="dhcp" |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
and so on. For more details on the parameters used look at: |
