Hi everyone. I am trying to get Arch configured on my aluminum macbook pro (following the wiki, of course) and have run into a snag or two. Any help is much appreciated.
The short version is that I created a udev rules file to rename my two network devices, but udev is not renaming them. Read on for greater detail
As suggested in http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bro … every_time, I wrote a /etc/udev/rules.d/10-network.rules file with the following.
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ATTR{address}=="00:26:4A:03:3A:0A", NAME="wlan"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ATTR{address}=="00:26:08:E1:13:38", NAME="lan"I made sure to use the two new names in the network section of /ect/rc.conf but, after rebooting, there is no working network connection, and
ifconfig -a still yields eth0 and eth1, rather than lan and wlan.
I set udev's logging mode to "debug" and, after rebooting, looked at /var/log/message.log. It appears that udev is reading my rules file when it starts up, but never ends up applying the rules to any device.
I also tried a couple of different rule variations (found via google), such as replacing SUBSYSTEM=="net" with KERNEL=="eth*", to no avail.
Also, while I'm here asking questions, can anybody tell me where the network section of rc.conf fits into the process described here ?

Use lowercase.
In your address: e instead of E, a instead of A.

Brilliant.
I'm happy that it was just a simple mistake on my part.
Many thanks.
