Ok, Getting ready to do this update, but the wiki text is confusing... |
2 |
|
3 |
It states: |
4 |
|
5 |
**************************************** |
6 |
|
7 |
"udev 208 to 212 |
8 |
|
9 |
The following special attention is required: |
10 |
|
11 |
<snip> |
12 |
|
13 |
File /lib/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules was replaced with |
14 |
/lib/udev/rules.d/80-net-setup-link.rules. If you are currently using an |
15 |
empty (or single-comment) /etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules to |
16 |
disable predictable network interface names, you should now use |
17 |
80-net-setup-link.rules. eg: |
18 |
|
19 |
cd /etc/udev/rules.d/ && ln 80-net-name-slot.rules 80-net-setup-link.rules |
20 |
|
21 |
..to keep the override both pre- and post-upgrade; you can then: |
22 |
|
23 |
rm /etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules |
24 |
|
25 |
..once you have upgraded. The hardlink can be made now, in order to |
26 |
protect against not noticing the upgrade in a busy or non-professional |
27 |
situation. |
28 |
|
29 |
However, 80-net-setup-link.rules is only a trigger for the actual |
30 |
configuration file 99-default.link at /lib/systemd/network/ which you |
31 |
can override at /etc/systemd/network/ |
32 |
The most reliable way of disabling the new network interface scheme is |
33 |
still the kernel bootline parameter: net.ifnames=0 |

Question 1: |
38 |
What if I am not using an empty (or single comment) |
39 |
/etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules? |
40 |
|
41 |
Does this mean I can ignore everything that follows (the comment really |
42 |
should open with that if so)? |
43 |
|
44 |
Question 2: What is up with the last section talking about the net setup |
45 |
rules only with respect to systemd? |
46 |
|
47 |
OpenRC is currently still the default init system for gentoo if I'm not |
48 |
mistaken, so why does this comment only reference systemd, totally |
49 |
ignoring OpenRC users? |

Thanks, |
