• Bug#1042842: network interface names wrong in domU (>10 interfaces)

    From Valentin Kleibel@21:1/5 to All on Tue Mar 19 18:20:01 2024
    Hello,

    I'm currently in the process of cleaning up and i noticed this bug i
    reported is still open.

    Based on what we know now i think the bug can be closed.

    To summarize:
    * the ordering of network interfaces (and therefore the ethn names) was
    never meant to be stable and changed with Xen 4.17
    * domUs starting with bookworm use enXn by default and their order
    matches the config
    * bullseye domUs on a bookworm dom0 with more than 10 network interfaces
    need a workaround:
    * use udev from bullseye-backports and enXn naming scheme
    * use custom udev rules to get fixed interface names

    Thanks for your help with this issue,
    Valentin
