What is the mechanism for permanently renaming an interface in Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid?
I had a dodgy 8139too (module) based NIC installed at startup. I switched that out for a unit that (apparently) uses 8139cp. At any rate the point is that the new NIC is eth1, and I'd like to switch it permanently back to eth0 to be consistent with the other Ubuntu systems I manage.
Code:
/etc$ sudo grep -R eth1 *
modprobe.d/blacklist:blacklist eth1394
network/interfaces:auto eth1
network/interfaces:iface eth1 inet static
udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules:
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="(snip)", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth1"
Do I only need to change the 70-persistent-net.rules and network/interfaces, then reboot?
