Force creation of 70-persistent-net.rules on CentOS /Redhat 7/8

Hello if you have these option enabled in your grup conf net.ifnames=0 and biosdevname=0 , maybe you need to gecreete the 70-persistent-net.rules file to keep static mac adress on your configurations

My Linux Server is Centos8.1 but this way should work on RHEL 6/7 based Systems.

As you can see i have no rule called 70-persistent-net.rules

[root@192 rules.d]# ls -altr /etc/udev/rules.d
total 4
-rw-r–r–. 1 root root 628 Jun 3 2019 70-persistent-ipoib.rules

drwxr-xr-x. 4 root root 68 Mar 26 10:42 ..
