Bugfix update to biosdevname, now version 0.3.2. The legacy code for reading the PCI IRQ Routing Table ($PIR) and the PCMCIA information has been removed. This means biosdevname will only report BIOS-provided names if your system has SMBIOS 2.6 or higher and has the information in Type 9 or Type 41. This is in preparation for widespread use, and will keep biosdevname from suggesting names on systems that are well into or beyond their useful lifetime and introducing an unexpected change of behavior on them. Dell PowerEdge 10G and newer, HP ProLiant G6 and newer are known to have SMBIOS 2.6, as do a number of desktop, laptop, and netbook-class systems as reported on the fedora-devel mailing list. This release also provides correct names for Intel and Broadcom quad-port GigE cards that I've tried. Format is pci<slot>#<port>.

On a related note, I've submitted a patch to dracut upstream to include calls to biosdevname via udev. This will let us use BIOS-suggested names for network functionality during initramfs time, such as finding your root file system on NFS or iSCSI. Shortlog: Matt Domsch (7): only match on smbios_type Ethernet, ignore sysfs index file for now PIRQ-ectomy, add pci_access pointer to state, pci_dev pointer instead of struct in pci_device PCMCIA-ectomy copy SMBIOS slot info to all matching domain/bus/device/functions skip bridges when setting index_in_slot fix RPM spec URL bump version Thanks, Matt -- Matt Domsch Technology Strategist Dell | Office of the CTO -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-hotplug" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
