Re: [LUG] ethXX device keeps incrementing?!

Hi all,

Not really an issue, more of a question... why does my LAN device keep
increasing?  This is on my laptop (which still doesn't sleep/hibernate
nicely).  Everytime I reboot it I get a different ethXX number for my
LAN interface.  Right now I'm on eth74.  Yesterday I was on eth69.

Any thoughts?

I'd suggest there was something wrong with hotplug/udev or whatever the dymanic device create thingumabobs are called. (I don't use them, so don't really know - just guessing here!)
