As someone else had stated, it's not related to SystemD but Fedora/RHEL has changed the way they handle some things. NICs, for instance, are no longer named after the device number (eth0, eth1, eth2, etc.) but after the *driver* name. Yes, it's a change but it also makes sense. IIRC this is how FreeBSD handles NIC names. -- Pete Orrall pete at cs1x.com www.peteorrall.com "If there isn't a way, I'll make one."
