Description of problem: I'm wondering why my onboard ethernet NIC is assigned the name of pci33p1. I know about biosdevname, but pci33p1 doesn't sound right for an onboard NIC in a netbook. Shouldn't it be named em1? At least I'd like to know where the 33 comes from. :) lspci -s 03:00.0 -vvv 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Attansic Technology Corp.

Need dmidecode and biosdecode output please.

ok I guess I see where this is coming from biosdecode: PCI Interrupt Routing 1.0 present. Router ID: 00:1f.0 Exclusive IRQs: None Compatible Router: 8086:27b9 Slot Entry 1: ID 00:01, on-board Slot Entry 2: ID 00:02, on-board Slot Entry 3: ID 00:1e, on-board Slot Entry 4: ID 00:1f, on-board Slot Entry 5: ID 00:1b, on-board Slot Entry 6: ID 00:1c, on-board Slot Entry 7: ID 00:1d, on-board Slot Entry 8: ID 01:00, slot number 35 Slot Entry 9: ID 03:00, slot number 33 Is this the only information being parsed (if there's no smbios extension)? Any way of overriding this to em1 w/o editing the ifcfg scripts? Thanks Matt!
Upgrade your BIOS to one that includes SMBIOS 2.6 and Type 41 information...
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
I am also experiencing this problem. I have motherboards from two different manufacturers that are both incorrectly reporting the slots for on-board NICs. As a result, the interface gets renamed to an unhelpful name like p5p1 or p10p1 instead of em1. Unfortunately, I don't have the budget to follow the suggestion from Comment #5. :)
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
