[Voyage-linux] Fwd: UDEV Rules, hardware Mac addresses

[John Schultz]

Gustin....

do you have any ideas how to solve this. I think the easiest thing would be
to get UDEV back to its original configuration (when you had all the rules
and was able to correct the nameing issue). But alas, I am not THAT
talented.

Thoughts, Ideas?

I'll also post this on Experts-Exchange and see what I and pull up there.

Thanks,
John
