From: cmps107-njupudi <njupudi@xxxxxxxx> Dell developed a way to consistently name devices, and their last proposal was accepted under the name biosdevname. Signed-off-by: Naga Venkata Sai Indubhaskar Jupudi <njupudi@xxxxxxxx> --- Proposal 1 provides a character device interface to ethernet devices. Proposal 2 is implemented in the same way as proposal 1 except that device nodes are created without any changes in the kernel. Proposal 3 is an installer based proposal where it provides the user with options to rename network interfaces. Proposal 4 exports system firmware provided SMBIOS strings on onboard devices to sysfs. Proposal 5 uses the firmware provided index to derive ethN names Proposal 6 is named as biosdevname and renames network interfaces to a different names space and accepted upstream. drivers/pci/pci-label.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/pci/pci-label.c b/drivers/pci/pci-label.c index 024b5c1..27143a0 100644 --- a/drivers/pci/pci-label.c +++ b/drivers/pci/pci-label.c @@ -16,7 +16,7 @@ * the instance number and string from the type 41 record and exports * it to sysfs. * - * Please see http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/Oss/libnetdevname for more + * Please see http://linux.dell.com/files/biosdevname/ for more * information. */ -- 2.5.0 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-pci" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
