Kernel behaviour is traditionally way more stable than udev behaviour. If m= y=20 driver for my only one network card has always produced eth0 as device name= ,=20 chances are good it will do so still in a few years, after re-shuffling the= =20 cards in my casing, and even after exchanging the whole motherboard. Whereas with udev I can probably expect random things at random times for e= ach=20 of these events. Also, should I have problems with a new kernel, I can always just boot back= =20 into an old one without much ado. =2D-=20 Andreas K.
