# This script is run to create persistent network device naming rules
# based on properties of the device.
# If the interface needs to be renamed, INTERFACE_NEW=<name> will be printed
# on stdout to allow udev to IMPORT it.

# variables used to communicate:
#   MATCHADDR             MAC address used for the match
#   MATCHID               bus_id used for the match
#   MATCHDEVID            dev_id used for the match
#   MATCHDRV              driver name used for the match
#   MATCHIFTYPE           interface type match
#   COMMENT               comment to add to the generated rule
#   INTERFACE_NAME        requested name supplied by external tool
#   INTERFACE_NEW         new interface name returned by rule writer
