Ah okay, sorry for the misunderstanding then!

  [udev] Adding "Austin" adapter to Ubuntu partition take over system
  network interface

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  This impacts any user of LPARs; upon adding physical network interfaces (or, realistically, any network interface at all, even virtual), the network interface which is used for system access and used to install the system may not appear in the same order after reboot.

  [Test Case]
  Requires access to logical partitions.
  1) Install system
  2) Add an physical network adapter to the partition
  3) Reboot.

  Observed behavior:
  After reboot, the virtual adapter expected to be used is unavailable, the address is assigned to any other network adapter which may have been detected and used persistent addresses.

  Expected behavior
  The system should come up with network interfaces in the same order as before rebooting.

  [Regression Potential]
  Added virtual interfaces that should be not persist (because they are locally administered and thus may have their MAC address change) may come up as persistent devices due to the use of the ibmveth driver, and thus fail to work as expected.

  Problem Description:
  ====================

  Adding Austin adapter to Ubuntu partition took over system network
  interface.  This caused system to be off network connection.

   ver 1.5.4.3 - OS, HTX, Firmware and Machine details

                             OS: GNU/Linux
                     OS Version: Ubuntu Vivid Vervet (development branch) \n \l

  AFTER ADDED Austin Adapter:
  ===========================

  Once the Austin adapter added to the partition, the Austin's 1st port became eth0.
  and it pushed the virtual ethernet (which is system's ethernet) to be eth4.
  However, the system still looking for eth0 as system's main network interface.

  == Comment: #8 - Siraj M. Ismail <siraji@xxxxxxxxxx> - 2015-03-23 16:43:50 ==
  This is a LPAR on a PowerVM system, so no bridge or br0 interfaces on this one. The Virtual adapter is provided by the VIOS server, which shows up as a ethernet port when the LPAR boots up. The issue is that when another adapter with 4 ports gets added to the LPAR with DLPAR add operation while the partition is running, the original eth0 gets renamed to eth5 or similar, and we loose the IP configuration for the LPAR. And that is what need to be looked at and see if this is a driver issue or just a procedure change.

  Here are some details of what happens on the system:

  As you can see, port for eth0 has now changed, but the IP address
  stayed with the port name eth0, whih causes the LPAR to loose it's
  network. That is the issue we need to address with this bug.

  == Comment: #9 - Brian J. King <bjking1@xxxxxxxxxx> - 2015-03-23 18:49:15 ==
  It looks like Ubuntu 14.04 by default uses /lib/udev/write_net_rules to modify /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules in order to do persistent eth device name binding. Looking at /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules on this system, I see multiple entries for the same mac address, so something may be broken in this script.

  root@br14p08:~# ethtool -P eth0           <=  Eth0 has changed to new adapter
  Permanent address: 40:f2:e9:5a:33:a0

  As you can see, port for eth0 has now changed, but the IP address
  stayed with the port name eth0, whih causes the LPAR to loose it's
  network. That is the issue we need to address with this bug.
