I use wicd for my slackware 13.37 internet connection. I've read the readme
in slackware's extra/wicd. Actually I don't have problem with wicd.
What I have problem is udev like to change randomly (not always) the network interfaces between wireless and wired interface and it occurs when booting. This becomes nuisance because wicd needs fixed eth number and I have to change the preferences every time this thing occur..like just now.
Seems like udev has some mood swing or something. "Oh okay, my user just boot slackware...hmmm today I feel like to change the network interfaces number" or something like "Slackware got booted ,not in the mood to change network interface right now. "
Dmesg snippet:
Code:
# dmesg |grep eth
[ 8.425123] [Firmware Bug]: ACPI: No _BQC method, cannot determine initial brightness
[ 8.963282] r8169 0000:05:00.0: eth1: RTL8168c/8111c at 0xffffc90004c4c000, 00:23:5a:46:17:62, XID 1c4000c0 IRQ 41
[ 9.410331] eth0: Broadcom BCM4315 802.11 Hybrid Wireless Controller 5.100.82.38
[ 9.729125] udev[1296]: renamed network interface eth0 to eth0-eth1
[ 9.990129] udev[1292]: renamed network interface eth1 to eth2
[ 10.033122] udev[1296]: renamed network interface eth0-eth1 to eth1
[ 48.466077] eth1: no IPv6 routers present
So how to make network interface number fix and not let udev messing it up?
Tnx
