[Solved] Network interfaces change places after every reboot.

This has been bugging me for a while, it seems that in Arch every time the system reboots, the network interfaces are recognized in a random order.
So what was eth0 in the last reboot will be eth1 in this reboot, and sometimes it will remain for several reboots and then flip again.
This does not occur in Fedora on the same machine ever.., does any one know how to work around this problem?

Re: [Solved] Network interfaces change places after every reboot.

There should be a file '75-persistent-net-generator.rules.optional' in /etc/udev/rudles.d
Try renaming it to '75-persistent-net-generator.rules' and see if that fixes the issue.

Because we have no way of knowing what your network card drivers and/or MAC addresses are...?

I meant why is 75-persistent-net-generator.rules.optional optional? or why for example on Fedora this is never an issue?
