When i installed F19, anaconda wrote the config files as enp* or similar.
Issuing an 'ifconfig' on the installed system revealed that the pXXpX
scheme was active.

Long story short: I modified config files to match whatever ifconfig
reported and then setup the network.service and its network bridges.
Whatever device names anaconda saw and configured,
these needed to be changed after booting. (i this system
network.service is used inestead of NetworkManager.service).

So, yes, it is somewhat confusing.
:-)
