The charge of stupidity could equally well be levelled at the gratuitous change to interface naming.
- cozzyd 11y agoEven before, the interface names could be whatever one set them to, so it seems hacky to assume a certain form.
- moonbug 11y agoWell, I've no great love for FlexLM, but even less for changes to userspace that willfully break things in pursuit of this year's dubious concept of 'better'.
- raverbashing 11y agoWell, you're right about not wanting to breaking things But there was no 'naming convention' for network cards. And people can and will have more than one network card, with different names. And it was changed for a very good reason https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Deployment_Guide/appe-Consistent_Network_Device_Naming.html https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterp... But of course people who do "license management" stuff only cares about this when it breaks.
- moonbug 11y agoI'd just observe that we can agree on the problem without agreeing on the quality of the eventual/current solution.
