I do not want to rename network interfaces, I just need the file to be recreated when it got deleted. For example, if I need to restore a sytem into a vmware, this file needs to be changed. on a normal box, udev will add the new interfaces as eth2 etc.. so I'll have to delete the file so it will be recreated with eth0. How can I do that on a vmware ? Additional question, on my vmware, when I upgraded from Etch to Lenny (so from z25 to 70 -persistent-net.rules), when udev has been upgraded it did recreate the file successfully, maybe I can force it again ? but I don't know how. Thanks for your help.
