It does it for all network devices, I see this ugly message on every single system I have from Fedora foo to RHEL foo to ubuntu foo to debian foo. udev simply applies the MAC address to device name rules blindly, it doesn't check if the device already has the desired name already It's been like this forever, and since userland has been doing it for so long, you can't warn on this there is too much established practice. Expecting people to install "fixed" udev is not an acceptable answer, the warning is a regression and therefore you'll have to remove the kernel warning for this case and live with this issue essentially forever. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
