[Bug 562742] Re: r8169 ethernet MAC address changes in 2.6.32 kernel

Tue May 4 03:18:49 UTC 2010

As suggested in the Debian bug report (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=573007), I am doing this as a workaround:

In /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules, map the broken MAC
addresses to eth0 and eth1.

So far this works between reboots, although when I tested the previous
Lucid alpha, it would rename my interfaces constantly between reboots.
Fortunately, this is my network router so I don't reboot that often.
