Anybody else run into problems with biosdevname .0.5..0-2 changing names from p2p1 to em1 when upgrading from biosdevname 0.4.1-3?
Is this in 6.5?
Darn! I thought biosdevname was to keep the names the same!!
Maybe enough folks were annoyed with the old Sun-ism, and found eth0 or em1 easier to remember, esp. when the network or NIC was down....
eth0 is easy to remember, but in the old scheme the same nic might be eth0 on one box and eth7 on another so remembering it doesn't help you.
This sounds like a bug to me.
