F21 Interface renaming

[Weiner, Michael]

I am running a Fedora 21 workstation, and I am trying to run Schrodinger software package
which requires a license and a 'flexnet' type of license manager. The issue is
that the it expects to bind with ethXX which we all know is not the default naming
convention any more. Great, ok, I google and fine some tips about renaming:


1)      append "net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0" to /etc/default/grub
GRUB_COMMAND_LINUX   (doesn't seem to have any affect)

2)  ln -s /dev/null /etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules  (which doesn't exist on
my system)

3)  /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules   (file doesn't exist, in fact
/etc/udev/rules.d is completely empty)

4)  Removing biosdevname  (which of course doesn't exist on this system)

and of course renaming the config files and changing the 'Name' in the files. I
reboot, and no matter what I do it refuses to work, ifconfig still lists the old device
names, and 'ifconfig eth0' fails and complains that the device doesn't exist.

Any known good working solutions or a direction to try?

Thanks in advance
Michael

After modifying the default grub config, did you run: 

	`grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg` or
	`grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg`

to update the bootloader config?

It works for me.

--> I thought I had, but let me try that again. Only thing I have noticed running that
is that sometimes it messes my boot up

It works for me.

Which is an interesting irony considering that the new "improved"
fedora mailing list archive software does everything in its
power to make the mail look like overdecorated html, including
displaying the text in a non-fixed width font :-).

Sending html mail costs lot of
disk space, wastes energy and it's useless.
