I have Suse 10.2. For no apparent reason every so often my card changes
from wlan0 to wlan1. When it does this I have no network connectivity.
No ifcfg-wlan1 file.
The problem seems to be in the
/etc/udev/rules.d/30-net_persistent_names.rules
Normally it has the following line:
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", SYSFS{address}=="00:0d:88:58:3a:7b",
IMPORT="/lib/udev/rename_netiface %k wlan0"
When the card changes to wlan1 I have the following.
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", SYSFS{address}=="00:0d:88:58:3a:7b",
IMPORT="/lib/udev/rename_netiface %k wlan0"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", SYSFS{address}=="00:0d:88:58:3a:7b",
IMPORT="/lib/udev/rename_netiface %k wlan1"
The fix is to stop the network and driverloader service.
Remove the wlan1 line.
run 'udevcontrol reload_rules'
restart driverloader and then network.
Question is what causes this problem and anyone have a way to prevent it
from happening? This doesn't happen often but it would be nice to
prevent it from happening again.
