Interface names get swapped, but udev rules don't work

Question

I'm using the (apparently nightmarish) broadcom_wl module.
This:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Br … every_time
and this:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … es_varying
don't work.  the 10-network.rules file I create is just completely ignored.
Any ideas?
Arch is my distro of choice for my desktop, but it is turning out to be an enormous PITA on my laptop.

Answer 1

hmmm,
NAME
           The name, a network interface should be renamed to. Or as a
           temporary workaraound, the name a device node should be named.
           Usually the kernel provides the defined node name, or even creates
           and removes the node before udev even receives any event. Changing
           the node name from the kernel's default creates inconsistencies and
           is not supported. If the kernel and NAME specify different names,
           an error will be logged. Udev is only expected to handle device
           node permissions and to create additional symlinks, not to change
           kernel-provided device node names. Instead of renaming a device
           node, SYMLINK should be used. Symlink names must never conflict
           with device node names, it will result in unpredictable behavior.
try creating symlinks instead.
