udev ethernet nic rename rule in backup
« on: July 31, 2013, 08:45:12 AM »
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="xx:xx...", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="wlan*", NAME="wlan0"

Is there a way to apply these renaming actions after fully booting, i.e. after the backup got restored? Else I have to plug my wifi stick out and in again to generate the hotplug events.

Hi hiro
Did you use  --reload-rules  first?

No, but now I tried udevadm control --reload-rules before running udevadm trigger and it still doesn't trigger.

See the trigger options, ie action=add subsystem=net etc. The default trigger action is "change".
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.
