Bug Description
Binary package hint: udev
I think the summary says it all, but anyway... :)
I had the following interfaces in /etc/iftab, and with feisty this was ok:
eth0 mac 00:0E:7B:A2:F7:2C
eth1 mac 00:0E:35:A9:3A:FF
When upgrading to gutsy, a couple of days ago, /etc/iftab was converted in /etc/udev/
At boot, my interfaces were then named eth2 and eth3, breaking some of my previous configurations. A quick edit on 70-persistent-
Thank you for your time.
Quick patch to solve the problem. Did not investigate whether a more "global" approach should be used.
