Prevent Fedora 29 from creating fake network device
I upgraded to Fedora 29 recently, and it keeps creating a fake network device wlp4s0 with a different fake macaddress every time:
> ifconfig
eth0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255
ether <TRUE MAC ADDRESS OF MY CARD> txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet)
RX packets 375891 bytes 523426707 (499.1 MiB)
RX errors 0 dropped 3 overruns 0 frame 0
TX packets 145987 bytes 12280970 (11.7 MiB)
TX errors 1 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0
lo: flags=73<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING> mtu 65536
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0
loop txqueuelen 1000 (Local Loopback)
RX packets 1167 bytes 190105 (185.6 KiB)
RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0
TX packets 1167 bytes 190105 (185.6 KiB)
TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0
wlp4s0: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
ether 26:d2:a7:1b:7f:2b txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet)
RX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B)
RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0
TX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B)
TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0
Even after issuing a ifconfig wlp4s0 down, after a minute or so it is created again. Commands ls /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts | grep wlp4s0 and grep wlp4s0 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/* give nothing.
I rename the network card with the following /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules file:
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="78:2B:CB:ED:14:07", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0"
What should I do to prevent this from happening? Why is it creating a new network device?
