Adding Jordan and Narendra to close. This request was not resolved in time for the current release. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. This request was erroneously removed from consideration in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4, which is currently under development. This request will be evaluated for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4. Jordan, Narenda, could you please take a look at this? Hi, fix for the issue is being explored. This request was not resolved in time for the current release. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Not planning on supporting this. Need to add a rule to biosdevname rules to exclude PCMCIA cards. It seems like the following patch would result in not naming PCMCIA cards as it checks for SUBSYSTEMS=="pci". As this check will not succeed for PCMCIA devices, they will not be named. SUBSYSTEMS=="pci", PROGRAM="/sbin/biosdevname --policy physical -i %k", NAME="%c", OPTIONS+="string_escape=replace" Fix double renaming of network interfaces on systems with systemd http://linux.dell.com/cgi-bin/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?p=biosdevname.git;a=commit;h=6f7fbcc352aeae08b5cf2a8e608f92abf98529f8 Verified in the latest BIOSDEVNAME and is fixed. Hence closing the bugzilla. |
