| Here’s how to rename your network card in Ubuntu 14.04: | |
| Get your ethernet card MAC address: ifconfig | grep HWaddr | |
| keep it handy (open a new Terminal window for following steps) | |
| cd /etc/udev/rules.d | |
| backup your file: cp 70-persistent-net.rules 70-persistent-net.rules.bak | |
| edit your file: sudo nano 70-persistent-net.rules | |
| very carefully type: SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="p*", NAME="eth0" | |
| where the xx:xx:xx are your MAC HWAddr from Step 1 | |
| Type this all as one big long line, then save and exit. | |
| edit /etc/network/interfaces to refer to eth0 instead of p1p1 or whatever | |
| $reboot | |
| login and type ifconfig to confirm your network adapter is at eth0 |
