[loux.thefuture]

Hello,
i'm asking if i can put something like this :
alias eth0 3c59x
alias eth1 skge

if i compile module 3c59x and skge in the kernel and not as module ?
thanks
loux

loux.thefuture,

That only works if you compile them as modules. With udev loading things without reading /etc/modules.conf that doesn't work properly either.

Abandon the names ethX - they may already be allocated whe your udev rules run.
Make a file called /etc/udev/rules.d/03-local-net.rules Only the number (03) is important, that should be less than any other rules files you have.
In the file put

Better way to do things (imo) is to use nameif. There's a script here: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-456219-highlight-nameif.html

Requires a couple of tweaks, and infact I may write up a decent one which can use /etc/conf.d for any number of interfaces.
