deletes udev packaged 75-persistent-net-generator.rules

Stephen,

Can you get us the authorative MAC prefixes for Azure? If we have one, we can simply add a udev rule that disables this. As it stands right now, the walinuxagent package violates packaging standards, so this needs to be fixed.

Hi Ben,

The MAC prefix for Hyper-V/Azure is "00:15:5D" (see also http://standards.ieee.org/develop/regauth/oui/oui.txt)

Thanks,
Steve

From 12.04 and later, udev current ignores the Hyper-V/Azure interfaces as part of ignoring virtual interface.

From the code:
# ignore KVM virtual interfaces
ENV{MATCHADDR}=="52:54:00:*", GOTO="persistent_net_generator_end"
# ignore VMWare virtual interfaces
ENV{MATCHADDR}=="00:0c:29:*|00:50:56:*", GOTO="persistent_net_generator_end"
# ignore Hyper-V virtual interfaces
ENV{MATCHADDR}=="00:15:5d:*", GOTO="persistent_net_generator_end"
# ignore Eucalyptus virtual interfaces
ENV{MATCHADDR}=="d0:0d:*", GOTO="persistent_net_generator_end"
# ignore Ravello Systems virtual interfaces

This means that we need to SRU a fix that disables removal of the UDEV rules.

Proposed MP for Saucy. Pending acceptance.

This bug was fixed in the package walinuxagent - 1.3.2-0ubuntu2

  * Added logic to prevent udev rules.d movement (LP: #1188753)
