[lug] Udev Edits to Modify Ethernet Device Names

[D. Stimits]

I was asked a question which I know shouldn't be complicated, but it turns out perhaps it is. Many people have wanted to change the network device naming convention from the location specific modern naming (like "enp4s6") and put it back to the older "eth0" style naming. However, this question has a twist to it...the system is using systemd and udev, but is already using the "eth#" syntax...but the user wants to start numbering at "eth1" instead of "eth0" without naming a specific device.


Is there a simple rule which can be written to increment all of the PCI based ethernet devices to start at "eth1" instead of "eth0"?
