1. Verify /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules exists and has the current names captured. For ex:
1. Make a note of the network interface names on Fedora 14.
 
<pre>This file was automatically generated by the /lib/udev/write_net_rules
program, run by the persistent-net-generator.rules rules file.
 
You can modify it, as long as you keep each rule on a single
line, and change only the value of the NAME= key.

Description

This test case tests if /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules of an existing install is honoured or not.

Setup

Install Fedora 14 on your system.

How to test

1. Make a note of the network interface names on Fedora 14. 

[root@fedora14-r610 rules.d]# ls /sys/class/net/
eth0  eth1  eth2  eth3  eth4  eth5  lo

2. Upgrade to Fedora Rawhide Rawhide and boot into Rawhide.

3. Make sure interface names remain the same as seen in Step 1. 

[root@rawhide-r610 rules.d]# ls /sys/class/net/
eth0  eth1  eth2  eth3  eth4  eth5  lo

Expected Results

Network interface names in Fedora Rawhide should be the same as they were in Fedora 14.
