1 But what confuses me about that linked page is that from what I've heard
2 from others here, option 1 - which is the option I think I'd prefer -
3 requires more than just symlinking 80-net-name-slot.rules to
4 /dev/null...? Apparently you should also create your own
5 70-my-net-names.rules - but I've heard many people claim they used ethX
6 names instead of netX names, so... again... should I just rename my file
7 to 70-my-net-names.rules and leave the contents alone?
