[Bug 1235162] Re: Persistent net names via /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

I've done some further tests after boot-time.

$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

# You can modify it, as long as you keep each rule on a single
# line, and change only the value of the NAME= key.

Title:
  Persistent net names via /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules are
  ignored

Status in “systemd” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  systemd-udev 204.

  Installing 13.10 amd64 on a multi-homed server. There are 5 ethernet
  interfaces, one on the mobo and four on a PCIe adapter.

  udev created "/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules" and I later
  edited the NAME= assignments to match the device naming required.

  These rules are being ignored and I can't find any indication as to
  why.
