b0N3z Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Why is Kali and Ubuntu mate on my raspberry pi 2 calling my ethernet interfaces enx123456789123 (123456789123=HWaddr or mac address) and wlan0 is the same way wlxmacaddr. Im puzzled as to why it does this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebkinne Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 A fast google search would tell you ;) https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames/ TL;DR: The interface names are weird, but predictable.

barry99705 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 This may, or may not work, haven't tried yet, since my laptops still use the old naming scheme. sudo ln -s /dev/null /etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules Might want to make a copy of 80-net-name-slot.rules first, just in case...
