Translations:Udev/58/en

Those having dual network cards on their motherboards may run into a situation where ifconfig may show no eth0 or eth1. dmesg may show their NIC detected as eth0, and later moved to eth1. Performing a ifconfig -a will also show the NIC as eth1. This is caused by using the kernel assigned names in the first place. Users should write custom rules like to use free names like lan0 or wireless0 or use predictable interface names (which have been enabled by default since udev version 197).
