To make use of bridged networking for virtualization, it is still expected that you create the ifcfg-* files by hand. I believe HWADDR only comes into play for upgraded systems, or if you want to use an unusual device name. If an upgraded system already has HWADDR present (and possible also matching udev rules), the old device name will be used. Otherwise, you get the new naming scheme. > Here is some info which confirms that my DELL machine is impacted. > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > [root@sunrise export]# ./Biosdevname-support-check.sh > Checking hardware requirements [ OK ] > Checking for SMBIOS type 41 support [FAILED] > Checking for SMBIOS type 9 support [ OK ] > Checking for PCI Interrupt Routing support [ OK ] > [root@sunrise export]# > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > [root@sunrise ~]# ls /sys/class/net > em1 lo virbr0 > [root@sunrise ~]# > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Note: I manually created an ifcfg-em1 andifcfg-br0(for bridging) with usual parameters > (*except* HWADDR) ; stopped NM ; start good old 'network' and things work just fine with > bridging.
