(:Google1:) (:Googletxt:) ---- The release of Fedora 15 has changed the network device naming scheme from ethX to a physical location-based name for easy identification and use. [@ [fedora@localhost ~]$ dmesg |grep -i network [ 1.920925] Initializing network drop monitor service [ 20.728565] udevd[418]: renamed network interface eth0 to em1 [fedora@localhost ~]$ @] Reference : http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ConsistentNetworkDeviceNaming Benefit to Fedora System Administrators can then use BIOS-provided names, which are consistent and not arbitrarily named, for their network ports. This eliminates the confusion that non-deterministic naming brings, and eliminates the use of hard-coded MAC address based port renaming which a) is racy and error-prone, and b) introduces state into an otherwise stateless system. This change affects most desktop, notebook, and server-class systems. System Administrators may disable this feature by passing "biosdevname=0" on the kernel command line. (:Googlemm:) |
