I have read previously that you can't use "eth*" as the device name. As an experiment, you could try using a device name other than "eth0" and see if that works.

This is on a f20 arm system, but it should be like any F20 system. Yeah, famous last words.
So I want a 70-persistent-net.rules so I can specify the MAC address to the device name. Then in the ifcfg-xxxx I can change the MACADDR to what I want.
I got this working on my Redsleeve arm system, but now I need it on my F20 arm system.
So I have done a little searching on creating 70-persistent-net.rules, and I come up with two commands:
udevadm trigger udevadm trigger --action=add
I have run both and no 70-persistent-net.rules
help please...
As before, you need to create it yourself. I wrote a little script that will do this, which you can see here:
https://alteeve.ca/w/Changing_Ethernet_Device_Names_in_EL7_ and_Fedora_15%2B#Writing_The_udev_Rules_File
Thanks. I used your script to create my rules file:
# cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
# Added by 'write_udev' for detected device 'eth0'. SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="02:56:02:01:f3:b9", NAME="eth0"
And that looked good (right madaddr and device name). So built my ifcfg-eth0:
# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 DEVICE="eth0" BOOTPROTO=none NM_CONTROLLED="no" ONBOOT="yes" TYPE="Ethernet" NAME="System eth0" MACADDR=02:67:15:00:01:78 MTU=1500 DNS1=208.83.67.188 GATEWAY="208.83.67.177" IPADDR="208.83.67.178" NETMASK="255.255.255.240" HOSTNAME="miredo.htt-consult.com" IPV6INIT="yes" DNS2=2607:f4b8:3:3:9254:5400:0:188
Something is missing as after the change I restarted network.services and got IPv6 RA errors. So I rebooted and now no eth0 listed with ifconfig (or ip addr show). So something is lacking. Almost like udev is not running at boot? How do I check this out?
