<para>Network interfaces are renamed to give them predictable names when possible (unless

|
|
is possible to pick a specific version of this algorithm and override the default chosen at

compilation time. Expects one of the naming scheme identifiers listed in
|

<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.net-naming-scheme</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>,

or <literal>latest</literal> to select the latest scheme known (to this particular version of

<filename>systemd-udevd.service</filename>).</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Note that selecting a specific scheme is not sufficient to fully stabilize interface naming:
|
|
the naming is generally derived from driver attributes exposed by the kernel. As the kernel is
|
|
updated, previously missing attributes <filename>systemd-udevd.service</filename> is checking might
|
|
appear, which affects older name derivation algorithms, too.</para>
