RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Yan ,Is it an new bug ?
Comment 11 Yvugenfi@redhat.com 2014-07-20 16:07:11 UTC 
Hi Mike,

"Name" in netsh is the "description" in ipconfig.

The important thing that there is a "#" and a number when we have multiple devices.

Best regards,
Yan.

Comment 19 lijin 2015-05-14 07:08:30 UTC 
test with virtio-win-1.7.4-1.el6_6.noarch on win7-32 guest.
boot guest with one virtio-net-pci,name field is still empty when using netsh command;
boot guest with three virtio-net-pci,only the first netkvm name field is empty,names of the other two are shown correctly.

So re-assign this bug.

package info:
    virtio-win-1.7.4-1.el6_6.noarch
    kernel-2.6.32-555.el6.x86_64
    qemu-kvm-rhev-0.12.1.2-2.469.el6.x86_64
    seabios-0.6.1.2-30.el6.x86_64
