Now that being said, there's still some notable differences.
Most of my machines (some F16 and some F17, some i686 and some
x86_64) came up with p2p1 for interface names and his is coming
up em1. Obviously something
em1 would be the first embedded nic. Probably its built into the
motherboard. p2p1 is a nic attached to the pic bus. I think its
the second slot, first port. (Probably the card has only one
port, but some have more than one.)
Ok... And that then makes it even weirder since all my Dell
towers (Optiplex GX620 x86_64 machines and Optiplex GX280 i686
machines) are all uniformly coming up p2p1 for the motherboard nic
(they don't have any add-on nics). Maybe it's the way they are
designed... IAC, my Dell 2U PowerEdge helped me diagnose the
problem and chase it into the initramfs and biosdevname.
They may be on an internal PCI bus and look external, I'm not sure how
"embedded" a NIC is to be recognized as such.
Thanks!

It's an imperfect science. My onboard NICs also come up as p1p1 and p1p2.
