1 Hi group,
2
3 Having upgraded from the 2.6.23 kernel to the 2.6.28 and enabling the rt2x00 driver I get the following message at boot
4
5 ...
6 * UDEV: Your system has a problem assigning persistent
7 * names to these network interfaces: wlan0-rename
8 * Checking persistent rules:
9 * Found no duplicate names in persistent-net rules
10 * there must be some other problem!
11 ...
12
13 some background:

17 face | tus | link level noise | nwid crypt frag retry misc | beacon | 22

20 heathen@kyzyl ~ $ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
21 # This file was automatically generated by the /lib/udev/write_net_rules
22 # program run by the persistent-net-generator.rules rules file.
23 #
24 # You can modify it, as long as you keep each rule on a single line.
25
26 # PCI device 0x10de:0x00df (forcedeth)
27 SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:13:8f:33:32:e2", NAME="eth0"
28
29 # USB device 0x0eb0:0x9020 (rt2570)
30 SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:d0:41:ac:32:0b", NAME="rausb0"
31 ^^^^^^
32 rausb0 was the former name, when I was using the older kernel w/o Ralink support and the driver had to be downloaded from the serialmonkey site.
33
34 Why is udev confused?
35
36 The old driver, rt2750, is *not* being used:
