Bug Description

eth* device names are hardcoded. This affects systems with biosdevname enabled, as they use em* and p*p* instead.

Places where this is hardcoded are:
1. contrib/network
2. if-pre/post scripts
3. vlan_test{,2}.pl

contrib/network requires things like /etc/sysconfig/ (a RHism) and isn't installed; vlan_test{,-2}.pl are test scripts and are not installed.

For the rest, the documentation currently advises using the 'vlan-raw-device' entry in /etc/network/interfaces, although I agree that we should support the biosdevname interface names out of the box anyway.

Hi,

This bug has recurred since devices now have different names on newer udev/kernel/Ubuntu versions. I now have an eno1 device, but /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/vlan hardcodes the following list:

  eth*.0*|bond*.0*|wlan*.0*|em*.0*|p[0-9]*.0*)

Which means that "iface eno1.213" no longer matches and doesn't work as expected.
