Comment 16 for bug 1284043

I am going nuts over this, I get the predictable name stuff but the change seems to be random.

On first reboot the names are different. eth0 renamed to p4p1 and eth1 renamed to p4p2

then on next reboot eth0 renamed to p4p1 and eth1 renamed to rename3

Whats predictable about that?

I was happy with eth0 and eth1, all my software was happy with eth0 and eth1, all my documentation refers to eth0 and eth1, so I thought lets uninstall biosdevname and stick with the original names. ....

That didn't work, I still get random names as above. Also in 14.04 ln -s /dev/null /etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-setup-link.rules does not disable this behavior as indicated in the link above

I have just had to delete what I wrote here as I do not want to be rude to anyone and I live in hope that one day we will make the world a better place.
