eth0 in dmesg became eth1 from kernel
Hello,
I'm working on a Linux live filesystem CD and I've come across a very strange problem. My system is based on a Debian system with a custom 2.6.17 kernel.
dmesg reported the SKY2 network adapter as eth0, but it became eth1 in /sys/class/net. /sys/class/net doesn't show any eth0 whatsoever.
The laptop I was using also had a firewire adapter, but I'm not loading any firewire modules at all. If I boot a Knoppix CD on this system, the ethernet becomes eth0 and the firewire becomes eth1.
On my live filesystem, if I run udevmonitor followed by udevtrigger, I see that the kernel is sending a UEVENT for eth1 only - even though dmesg say that the only network device is eth0.
Why is this happening? Is there anything I can do about this in udev?
I can probably handle this with iftab and ifrename, but I'd like to know if there is a udev way.
regards,
Aras Vaichas

Debian keeps track of MAC addresses and uses udev to keep the names persistent. Take a look at:
/etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules
