In what universe are those "consistant" device names, as opposed to eth[0...]? And how could it help automated scripts that you can run on *any* system you're administering?
if I have a Intel gigE interface and a Marvell 10g interfaces, which one is eth0 and why?
Say its Intel on eth0 and Marvell on eth1, if I then add another intel, is the Marvell now eth2 ?
And if I have a 5-yr-old Penguin (OEM-branded Supermicro), and a Dell PowerEdge R530 and an HP ProLiant dl580 and a hot-off-the-presses Penguin/Intel, what will their primary device be named?
As opposed to you installing a new NIC in addition to one that's there... which, since you've just installed it, I suppose you could add the UUID to whatever you want to name it.
