biosdevname, now version 0.3.6. (0.3.5 was a dud due to a change in gcc/libtool that broke building the static copy. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=672689) this fixes the udev rules, such that biosdevname is not invoked if an earlier rule (such as 70-persistent-net.rules) sets a name. this has been the intended behavior, but was missed until now. furthermore, /usr/sbin/dump_pirq was added as a debugging aid, the static copy biosdevnames is no longer built (it was originally intended for use inside fairly limited initrd environments, but was never really used there, and with dracut is now unnecessary), and it checks if you're running as root, as it needs root to read SMBIOS and PCI IRQ Routing Table information.

There is a Fedora Test Day tomorrow (Thursday) https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2011-01-27_Network_Device_Naming_With_Biosdevname and I encourage you to give this a try and report success/failures as noted here. There has also been a good bit of blog coverage over the last few days, with thanks to Joe Brockmeier. http://www.networkworld.com/community/fedora-15-changes-network-device-naming shortlog: Matt Domsch (13): add check for running as root, exit if not add exit code 3 to manpage udev rules: skip if NAME is already set build dump_pirq, minimizing library linking install dump_pirq into /usr/sbin/ install dump_pirq in debs too update changelogs, bump version move udev rules file into /lib/udev/rules.d update changelog add TODO automatically determine which dir the rules file goes drop biosdevnameS, it's unused and fails to build on F15 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
