<span class="quote">> Is there a reason why udev cannot down the interface when it wants to rename?

Nope, we should not interfere with dhcpd's operation the same way as dhcpc
shouldn't interfere with udev's. It's pretty simple: as long as the device
hasn't been announced by udev dhcpcd shouldn't take possession of it. And as
long soon as udev announced the device it shouldn't touch it anymore.</pre>
