[Voyage-linux] Voyage 0.10: Ethernet bug when moving CF-disks to other boards discovered

[Jon Meek]

I don't think that this is a bug. Those rules keep your Ethernet port names
consistent over time. In my cloning notes I have a step to delete the
appropriate lines before moving the disk / CF card to a new system.

I would have expected a new line for eth1 to be added to the file, which is
not what you want, of course.
