Ethernet Interface issue with latest rolling 1.4-rolling-202203300217

All,

Seems there have been reports of interface naming issues when going from 1.3 to 1.4. I am seeing that one of my interfaces is coming in as an e, not an eth and it not usable in the system. I am running in qemu, under debian 11. Any insight is appreciated.

FYI, I went to 1.3.0-rc6 and the issue is not there. Same Hardware, same system.

Funny,

My eth0 is now gone and is now eth4 when running 1.3.0-rc6. Seems like these releases both represent a different issue from the 2 year old rolling I was running.

Gulp…

Could you define the hw-id for each interface, to have them named correctly? Troubleshooting — VyOS 1.4.x (sagitta) documentation
