Debian issues with using old network-interfqace naming schema

[idkpmiller]

Hi,
I have follwed the REAMDME for Debian and when I try and start the service I get errors pertaining to eth0 I do not have an eth0 ibn this machine the name of the first NIC is ens3, I have tried to configure this directly in the .conf as well as using any in both cases the same error are shown.

Here is the ouput of starting the service

root@galaxy:/usr/src/sniffer#
root@galaxy:/usr/src/sniffer# /etc/init.d/voipmonitor start

In terested in ideas or workarounds that are known for the problem.

Hello,

if I understand it correctly then you changed the interface option in the voipmonitor.conf but you still see the eth0 interface ? Can you share your voipmonitor.conf ?
Thanks.
