Or, if you're struggling with udev and you intend to run a slim installation |
| 19 |
you could also try setting it up in your /etc/conf.d/net: |

====================================================== |

# OPTIONAL MODULES |

|
| 23 |
# INTERFACE RENAMING |
| 24 |
# There is no consistent device renaming scheme for Linux. |
| 25 |
# The preferred way of naming devices is via the kernel module directly or |
| 26 |
# by using udev (http://www.reactivated.net/udevrules.php) |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
# If you are unable to write udev rules, then we do provide a way of renaming |
| 29 |
# the interface based on it's MAC address, but it is not optimal. |
| 30 |
# Here is how to rename an interface whose MAC address is 00:11:22:33:44:55 |
| 31 |
# to foo1 |
| 32 |
#rename_001122334455="foo1" |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
# You can also do this based on current device name - although this is not |
| 35 |
# recommended. Here we rename eth1 to foo2. |
| 36 |
#rename_eth1="foo2" |
| 37 |
