First of all, I'm filing this bug early as >=sys-fs/udev-210 is not in stable yet, so I don't think anything should be done before it is. http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-amd64.xml?part=4&chap=2#doc_chap4 is referencing a file called '80-net-name-slot.rules' which no longer exists in newer >=sys-fs/udev-210. The configuration is now at /lib/systemd/network/99-default.link, and that you can override in /etc/systemd/network/99-default.link The trigger for that configuration is at /lib/udev/rules.d/80-net-setup-link.rules, which you can override at /etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-setup-link.rules So either, overriding the .link file or the new .rules file works, I don't know which one you want to document, but since the actual configuration is in the .link file, maybe that's the best place, so: # ln -s /dev/null /etc/systemd/network/99-default.link Or all of this can be removed, and simply document the kernel parameter 'net.ifnames=0' which works in all udev versions
Thanks, the document now only refers to the kernel boot parameter (in CVS, will show up on the site in an hour or so).
