Thanks, Chris,

It is regenerated, probably based on the network-scripts created at discovery? Here is the file contents:

# PCI device 0x10ec:0x8168 (r8169)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:e0:4c:01:69:99", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0"

# PCI device 0x14e4:0x4727 (bcma-pci-bridge) (custom name provided by external tool)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="d0:df:9a:75:31:69", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="wlan*", NAME="wlan0"

# PCI device 0x14e4:0x1691 (tg3) (custom name provided by external tool)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="18:03:73:b1:cf:94", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME=“p3p1"

I’ll try changing those to see what happens.

Jeff
