Description Brock Organ 2011-01-27 21:42:58 UTC 
When listing the devices in the post-installed system, the expectation is that the on-board devices will be renamed like this:

# ls /sys/class/net/
em1  em2  em3 lo


However, the actual behavior doesn't show the rename, and instead unexpectedly shows:

# ls /sys/class/net 
eth0  eth1  eth2  lo
#

Comment 4 Matt Domsch 2011-01-28 17:11:51 UTC 
This system does not expose any information in SMBIOS about its devices or slots, and does not expose a PCI IRQ Routing Table.  Therefore, there is nothing that biosdevname can do to provide "better" names.

Closing as "working as designed".
