Description Dick Gevers 2016-05-22 19:03:16 CEST

Description of problem:

During install network device names employed are e.g. eth0 and wlan0 (these may be seen if in summary firewall is enabled and shows these devices are supposedly protected.

Moreover, such device names are written at that time to certain shorewall(6) config files.

However, they do not comply with the fdo naming convention: after reboot same devices are named "correctly" as enp1s0 and wlp2s0 respectively (as shown for example by /sbin/ifconfig)...

... but it also leads to shorewall(6) now - i.e. after reboot - not employing "correct" filenames anymore in it's config files: the eth0 and wlan0 can no longer be found by ifconfig and shorewall(6) becomes misconfigured.

Compare bug #17288 about shorewall(6). These bugs are interrelated but for clarity I thought it best to separately report this.

I can understand you opening a new report, because the existing reports don't mention the real culprit in the summary. Besides, bug 17288 was never assigned to anyone :-/ 

Setting the other reports to depend on this one.
