Thanks again for the help : I'm now back in my 2007 machine
& able to send e-mails. You actually have to remove the offensive file
from the dir, not simply rename it to 'xx70xx...' !
Between Intel & Udev, I'm feeling somewhat abused today,
but Gentoo User mailing-list came thro' yet again :
I hope I sometimes manage to help others with similar problems.

That's the same way files in /etc/portage/ works too. I do wish we
could put a # on the front to make it ignore files.

We can dream I guess.

Yes & why did it start doing this only with the new mobo
-- was it provoked by seeing an unknown driver ?
And whyever did it want to rename the device to 'eth1' ??
