biosdevname, now version 0.3.4. The main visible change is that port indices now start at 1 rather than 0, when assigned by biosdevname (such as falling back to PIRQ) rather explicitly assigned by BIOS. This is in keeping with how the indices are assigned by BIOS on Dell and HP servers. em<port> where port starts at 1 pci<slot>#<port> where port starts at 1 As a side effect, the first VMware Workstation guest NIC now appears as pci3#1 because the virtual machine BIOS exposes the device as being in a PCI slot via PIRQ. This also drops an explicit dependency check on a particular udev version. That version was supposed to properly handle parallel conflicting renames when swizzling within the ethX namespace, but as we've discovered, that doesn't always work. The udev in RHEL5 is older than what we were specifying, but it works just fine, so no more check. Furthermore, if biosdevname somehow messes up (either through its own bug or because of a buggy BIOS), and would assign the same name to two different devices, it won't try to assign names to either (who knows which is correct?). You can see the duplciates when running with the -d debug option.

Don't assign names to unknown devices only supress duplicates, not all names if any duplicates exist start with port index 1, not index 0 Thanks, Matt -- Matt Domsch Technology Strategist Dell | Office of the CTO -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
