Cannot enable systemd persistent network naming

So I read https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail … 24231.html and deleted /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules but my system still uses eth0 and eth1 even after a reboot. Can someone tell me what I can do to get the default behavior?

... deleted /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules ...

uhm... to enable the default behaviour you would have to remove /etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules. Reinstall systemd to restore the file in /usr/lib and remove the file in /etc.

Re: Cannot enable systemd persistent network naming

My bad. A mistake in my post. I actually removed the correct file. See:

$ locate 80-net-name-slot.rules
/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules

FWIW, locate is probably not the best tool in this situation, since it relies on a database which may be out of date.

I updated the db first. There is no file.

$ls  /etc/udev/rules.d
