    43To reproduce:
    5 
    6 1) buy two network cards of different brands
    7 2) compile both drivers as modules in linux-2.6.15-rc6
    8 3) upgrade udev to 078 with all extras enabled, remove hotplug
    9 4) Replace the mountkernfs and udev initscripts with the attached ones
    10 5) Add to udev rules:

    1311ACTION=="add", MODAILAS=="?*", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe $modalias"
     12}}}
     13 6. Configure some static IP addresses on eth0 and eth1 as the book says
     14 7. Reboot several times and watch which address is assined to which card. The results may not be stable.

    16 7) Reboot several times and watch which address is assined to which card. The
    17 results may not be stable.
     16This bug was not visible with hotplug, since it (unlike udev) doesn't run many "modprobe" commands in parallel.

    19 This bug was not visible with hotplug, since it (unlike udev) doesn't run many
    20 "modprobe" commands in parallel.
     18Upstream reaction: WONTFIX, please create udev rules that assign stable interface names based on e.g. MAC addresses or bus positions. It is also a good idea to bring interfaces up from udev rules, this will catch the currently-unhandled "I need to be root to connect to my Sharp Zaurus" annoyance. But please also be careful with firewalling.

    28 This, obviously, applies not only to network cards, but to any device type (e.g.
    29 you can also reproduce this numbering instability with two sound cards of
    30 different brands).
