nope, 208 was back when 80-net-name-slot.rules predictable rules were |
| 11 |
used which |
| 12 |
ignored kernel metadata for predictable networking |
| 13 |
i.e. the insufficient implementatition, which got replaced by |
| 14 |
99-default.link and 80-net-link-setup.rules |
| 15 |
what you are referring is the buggy pre-udev-197 networking, which you |
| 16 |
can unfortunately |
| 17 |
still get with USE="rule-generator", it will keep renaming your |
| 18 |
interfaces despite kernel |
| 19 |
telling not to, so kernel drivers that mark eth0 as stable, might get |
| 20 |
renamed to eg. eth1 |
| 21 |
if you have 2 cards |
| 22 |
it's really messy, only 209 (and higher) handles things right, the new |
| 23 |
.link setup, with kernel naming support |

that's the only usecase for eudev currently, yes, otherwise you have no |
| 43 |
reason to switch |
