I believe that we will be implementing the functionality (probably by default) in the eudev software package, but we will not be enabling this by default in the eudev ebuilds (at least, not any time soon). Also of note, though, is that the eudev package (and ebuild) will still have available (although not by default) the old legacy persistent-net functionality. I am planning to update the rules generator for this to use the same attributes as the new method though, which should be theoretically more reliable than the old attributes. - --- Finally, something that wasn't mentioned yet -- if a user has / still uses a 75-persistent-net.rules from old udev's, or any custom iface-naming rules, then the new 80-net-name-slot.rules will also not take effect on any of the interfaces that were named in these other rules. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) iF4EAREIAAYFAlDuydMACgkQ2ugaI38ACPDaLwD+JCn43am7AkSkz4/7d/IisXAp U9wm1hD2hqjAe2RjAQUBAKGwBTRAcDDx5od26ip99svgnWu6TQw2DKSICWq8BGQd =T9fH -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
