interface-order needs definitions for systemd predictable names

[Kevin Otte]

Another release, another round of interface name changes.

This time systemd has gotten into the fray to make things even more interesting.

https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames/

As such, IPv4 resolvers are now being preferred over IPv6 again on these new interface names.

Hi and thanks for the report. How 'bout a patch?

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Kevin Otte (nivex)]

Pattern matching and I have never been fast friends, but this appears to work in my one little test case.

[Ubuntu Foundations Team Bug Bot (crichton)]

The attachment "interface-order.patch" seems to be a patch. If it isn't, please remove the "patch" flag from the attachment, remove the "patch" tag, and if you are a member of the ~ubuntu-reviewers, unsubscribe the team.

Previous patch did not fully account for PCI bus description. New patch attached.

[Kevin Otte (nivex)]

I'm curious why this has been given such an abysmally low priority (wishlist) when a similar bug (#1094345) was fixed quickly a few years ago and a patch has been submitted.

[Kevin Otte (nivex)]

Is there anything else you need from me to be able to merge this patch?

[Thomas Hood (jdthood)]

I revised the patch slightly (to put the wl* names with the wifi* names) and have applied it to the Debian package which I plan to release soon.

Hi,

I've an issue using resolvconf in combination with rdnssd. The host is getting the nameserver stuff via RDNSS, not DHCPv6.
The interface order doesn't cover the rdnssd method?! Interface name should be ens3.
