Instead, udev remembers the old MAC address in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules which contains the old MAC adresses, too. of course, that's problem with gentoo, not with the kernel. Now I know why I never trusted udev much :-/ thanks, herp - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
