130331 Samuli Suominen offered prompt + polite help re Udev 200 :

Thanks.  In fact, it's a bit more complex than I thought yesterday.
After moving the '70 80' files into a subdirectory & restarting, I get :

  root:501 ~> dhcpcd
    dhcpcd[830]: version 5.6.4 starting
    ... [nothing happens for  10 s ]
    ^C
    ... [long delay till machine responds]
    dhcpcd[830]: no interfaces have a carrier
    dhcpcd[830]: forked to background, child pid 857
  root:502 ~> dhcpcd
    dhcpcd[864]: version 5.6.4 starting
    dhcpcd[864]: enp5s0: sending IPv6 Router Solicitation
    dhcpcd[864]: enp5s0: rebinding lease of 192.168.1.2
    dhcpcd[864]: enp5s0: NAK: from 192.168.1.1
    dhcpcd[864]: enp5s0: sending IPv6 Router Solicitation
    dhcpcd[864]: enp5s0: broadcasting for a lease
    dhcpcd[864]: enp5s0: offered 192.168.1.2 from 192.168.1.1
    dhcpcd[864]: enp5s0: acknowledged 192.168.1.2 from 192.168.1.1
    dhcpcd[864]: enp5s0: checking for 192.168.1.2
    dhcpcd[864]: enp5s0: sending IPv6 Router Solicitation
    dhcpcd[864]: enp5s0: leased 192.168.1.2 for 86400 seconds
    dhcpcd[864]: forked to background, child pid 888
 
The same happens if I try 'dhcpcd enp5s0',
except that the 1st reply is "enp5s0 : removing interface".
The name 'enp5s0' has shown up after  > 1  restart,
so that seems to be what my kernel (gentoo-sources 3.5.3) calls it.

So I've done what I understand to be recommended,
but have to go thro' a stutter before I can get the I/net working.

I really don't want to have to spend an hour or more
reading docs which are largely irrelevant to my very simple case,
ie  1  network card accessing an ordinary ISP.

Further advice is very welcome & I hope I'm helping clarify things
for others trying who try to follow the news item
& also helping the developer improve his docs.
