Description Andrew McNabb 2011-04-29 19:44:25 UTC 
According to the feature page, ethernet devices are named "pci<slot>#<port>_<vf>".  However, on my Fedora 15 Beta system, the ethernet device is named p5p1.  The auto-generated config file is /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-pci5p1.  The network fails to start with the error: "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-eth: Device pci5p1 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization."

The feature page needs to be updated with the final naming scheme.
Comment 2 Matt Domsch 2011-04-30 03:59:34 UTC 
I've adjusted the feature page accordingly, thanks for the reminder.
