 |
|
Until recently, when I plug in a USB WiFi device, "/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules" gets automatically updated with a new entry (typically the device is named "wlan0"), and everything worked perfectly.
But "70-persistent-net.rules" doesn't get updated anymore. I might be wrong, but I think it's happening after I updated to "udev-197-r8".
"lsusb" shows the device ("Linksys WUSB100"), so I guess at least something is working correctly.
| Code: |
$ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 008: ID 04d9:1702 Holtek Semiconductor, Inc.
Bus 002 Device 009: ID 1737:0078 Linksys WUSB100 v2 RangePlus Wireless Network Adapter [Ralink RT3070] |
I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to get it working again. Thank you.

I don't think I fully understand how this new "Predictable Network Interface Names" is supposed to work, so I just grabbed the MAC address of the USB WiFi device and modified "/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules" manually, and everything is working as expected.
| Code: | | udevadm info -a -p /sys/class/net/wlan0 | grep address |
It works, so I'll just leave it as is for now, but I'd like to know how the new method is better without breaking existing systems.
