Nothing that seems to be related to the issue:
# PCI device 0x8086:0x100e (e1000) (custom name provided by external tool)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*",
ATTR{address}=="08:00:27:96:5d:9c", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*",
NAME="eth0"
I'm beginning to wonder if there has been some different handling
introduced into the latest updates as I had this working just fine on
a physical box, but I just ran a "yum -y update" and am now running
into the same problems.
What I need to be able to do is source a default route off of an IP
attached to a dummy interface. But, for that source route to work off
of the routes declared in route-bond0, the dummy interface that has
the address I need to source needs to be up prior to bond0. In
picking apart how networking brings up devices, it appears that it
simply orders them alphabetically. So I created a dummy interface
called "adummy0" and attached my IP to it and all was working well.
Now, upon a reboot after updating to latest, the system refuses no
matter how I create the interface (adding alias/modprobes to
/etc/modprobe.d/dummyopts.conf or creating via "ip link" commands) to
maintain my "adummy0" interface across reboots.
