Naming networkinterfaces using udev
Usually the robots are configured to use DHCP at networkinterface 'eth0' and have a static IP (10.0.1.2) at interface 'eth1'. In order to get the wireless netcard to use DHCP we want to rename it to 'eth0'. This can be achieved by using the udev system. Changes are done in the file
/etc/udev/rules.d/75-network-devices.rules
Add the following two lines:
SUBSYSTEMS=="pci", DRIVERS=="via-rhine", NAME="eth1" SUBSYSTEMS=="pci", DRIVERS=="yenta_cardbus", NAME="eth0"
Remove any conflicting lines.
Jetway Atom boards
The approach above will work on the VIA based motherboards used at the SMRs. The new Intel Atom based motherborads from Jetway uses a Realtek network controller. Therefore change the line
SUBSYSTEMS=="pci", DRIVERS=="via-rhine", NAME="eth1"
to
SUBSYSTEMS=="pci", DRIVERS=="r8168", NAME="eth1"
to achieve the same on the Jetway motherboards.
