Hi Bill
I see that initscripts in F18 ships this udev rule:
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="net", PROGRAM="/lib/udev/rename_device",
RESULT=="?*", ENV{INTERFACE_NAME}="$result"
I'm trying to tackle some problems related to interface renaming, and
understanding how this works would be useful.
But I can't find which software component *applies* the INTERFACE_NAME
variable set by the above rule, actually performing the interface
rename. Can you explain?
FYI, I would imagine this area will also be susceptible to a current
udev bug, https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56929
Thanks
Daniel
