I upgraded from Fedora 10 to Fedora 12. Unfortunately, my ethernet interface eth0 is now named eth0_rename. I'd like to get back to having it named plain old eth0.
I googled a bit but the solution of removing the eth0 entry from /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules seems to have no effect (I restarted the network service but didn't reboot).
The interface works just fine although I could see a script or two having a problem with the format. So, it's more of an inconvenience thing than anything else.
Any ideas?
udev
instead of your network service since it is the one taking care of device names (among many other things).
