From: Komuch on 28 Oct 2006 16:06 Hi, How can I rename interface in gentoo ? I have many ppp interfaces (pppoe server) and I want to rename them (e.g. ppp0 -> ppp0-hans or ppp0-10.1.1.10) Thanks for any help. Regards,

That is not a gentoo package per se, and may or may not be included in gentoo. Example: ~# <start pppd as usual> ~# ifconfig ppp0 down ~# ifrename -i ppp0 -n dsl0 dsl0 ~# ifconfig dsl0 up ~# route add default dsl0 A new default route is necessary since the old default routing via ppp0 went away when the interface was taken down. > Thanks for any help. > Regards, -- Clifford Kite

I use UDEV to rename my ethernet interfaces, it might work for PPP stuff, I don't know. This was to work around a "feature" where different kernel versions found the physical interfaces on my motherboard in a different order, so eth0 moved around. UDEV let me tie the name to the MAC address and keep things stable. The procedure is at http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Customizing_UDEV#Example:_Writing_a_rule_to_name_my_network_interface -- Reverend Paul Colquhoun, ULC. http://andor.dropbear.id.au/~paulcol Asking for technical help in newsgroups?
