Yes, they can be moved. The work around is to change our test scripts to use:
amtu -dmsip   which does all tests but the network tests.

Created attachment 519817 [details]
proposed patch - check ifc type and carrier in /sys

[PATCH] networkio: check ifc type and carrier in /sys

With biosdevname changes it's no longer valid to check
interface type just by name of interface.

This patch will get interface hardware type and carrier from
/sys/class/net. As in previous implementation, only ethernet
and token ring can be used, and carrier must be present.

Difference is, that now all devices, that match this criteria,
will get tested, e.g. bridge or tap devices too.

Patch aims to resolve these bugs:

Can you give me the advice how reproduce this bug? Is it depends on some hardware (dell?) or some machine configuration?

It depends on name of interface, so it's more likely to occur on machines where biosdevname is in effect (like Dell ones). Make sure you are not disabling biosdevname (for example biosdevname=0). Any machine where interface name doesn't match 'eth*' should be fine.

Other option that comes to mind is to rename interface by hand:
ifconfig eth0 down
ip link set eth0 name em1
ifconfig em1 up
dhclient em1

Sue Forsberg, 
 Jan has created a patch for this. It has been fasttacked for several releases. But seems Steve does not have time for ATMU. 

 Any chance you can get this BZ reassigned. 

Regards,
Jeff

This appears to have been fixed in Rawhide, see BZ #682337.

I've verified that the attached patch works for me on a current Rawhide system.  

Unfortunately, my RHEL6.x systems don't exhibit the device naming issues as described in the original report, but using the patched RHEL6.x source RPM (see the Brew build link above) on a Rawhide system I've been able to verify the fix.

I see no reason why this patch shouldn't be merged for RHEL6.x.

Since the problem described in this bug report should be
resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a
resolution of ERRATA.

For information on the advisory, and where to find the updated
files, follow the link below.

If the solution does not work for you, open a new bug report.
