Re: [Devil-linux-develop] Assign network interface names.

Hi Bruce,

you are right... We missed "--enable-rule_generator" in udev script.
Will test the script during weekend.

BTW: There is a problem with 2 instances of devfs (/dev/, /shm/dev).
A quick research shows that we should change init scripts a bit, i.e.

  freeramdisk /dev/ram0
