[Bug 1099278] Re: Network devices with a MAC with prefix 2c:c2:60 should not be have a persistent rule

[Dave Walker]

Hello Boris, or anyone else affected,

Accepted udev into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udev/175-0ubuntu9.3 in
a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

** Changed in: udev (Ubuntu Precise)
       Status: Triaged => Fix Committed

** Tags added: verification-needed

Title:
  Network devices with a MAC with prefix 2c:c2:60 should not be have a
  persistent rule

Status in “udev” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “udev” source package in Precise:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Test Case]
  1) using your preferred virtualization technology create an Ubuntu guest with a MAC address starting with 2c:c2:60.
  2) boot the Ubuntu guest
  3) cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

  The file will contain a line with an address containing "2c:c2:60".
  With the version of the package from -proposed it will not.

  [Regression Potential]
  Low as this is limited to MAC address assigned to Ravello Systems.

  The MAC prefix 2c:c2:60 should be treated like 52:54:00 (KVM) and 00:0c:29 VMWare (VMWare):
  network devices with a MAC that starts with 2c:c2:60 shall not be persistent.

  This MAC prefix belongs to Ravello Systems:

  A patch to Precise's version of udev is attached.
