The iPhone 4s has bluetooth. The Scosche MyTrek works with the iPhone via bluetooth. All good as Apple is known for it’s integration and ease of use it would work beautifully.

So the original backup was saved using the credentials for the FTP service which now did not exist.

In RHEL/CentOS 5 this was handled by /etc/modprobe.conf.
Now in RHEL/CentOS 6 this is now handled by udev. The file that controls everything is
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules An example of how this file looks is shown below:-
# PCI device 0x14e4:0x164c (bnx2) (custom name provided by external tool) SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?", ATTR{address}=="00:19:b9:f2:d4:f7", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth", NAME="eth1" # PCI device 0x8086:0x10d6 (igb) (custom name provided by external tool) SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?", ATTR{address}=="00:1b:21:0c:2a:70", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth", NAME="eth2" # PCI device 0x8086:0x10d6 (igb) (custom name provided by external tool) SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?
