At some point the major distros will default this to On. People using leading edge distros can turn it off with the global switch Leon mentioned. This is the same process netdev went through when they introduced persistent names. If I recall, hfi was one of the reason this work was done. HFI has problems generating consistent names for its multi-function devices in various cases and I NAK'd the kernel hack to try and 'fix' that. Jason
