</div>A randomly assigned MAC address would probably do that. Check whether it's<br>
different each time you get a different ethX.</blockquote><div><br>Nice theaory, but the MAC address is consistent all the time:<br>[11317.984463] eth1: register 'cdc_ether' at usb-0000:00:1d.1-1, CDC Ethernet Device, 00:1f:11:01:0d:39<br>
