I'm trying to get my udev rule working on armbian. But I cant make anything work at all.
I am wanting to rename the android usb tether to a standard name usb0.

Ive tried the following rules
  

/etc/udev/rules.d/99-usb-tether.rules

SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", ATTRS{interface}=="RNDIS Ethernet Data", NAME="usb%k"

SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", ATTRS{ID_USB_INTERFACES}=="*:e00103:*", NAME="usb%k"

SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", ATTRS{idVendor}=="18d1", ATTRS{idProduct}=="4ee3", NAME="usb0"

 

none of them work, also tried rebooting
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
sudo udevadm trigger

Ive ran the command: 


udevadm test /dev/bus/usb/002/002

it looks like another earlier rule is overwriting my rule possibly??
/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules

 

 

 

Ive also tried seting up .link files, which seems like a simpler solution if it works... But it doesnt. 

/etc/systemd/network/99-usb-tether.link

[Match]
OriginalName=enx*

[Link]
Name=usb0

 

How can i get my rule to take preference?

    i got it working by renaming the files with smaller numbers.

     

    /etc/systemd/network/10-internet-usb.link

    /etc/systemd/network/10-internet-usb.network
