Description of problem: The wired ethernet NIC e1000e on Lenovo T500 laptops is named enp0s25 instead of something useful. I assume it should be em1, right? [root@t500 ~]# biosdevname --debug BIOS device: p1p1 Kernel name: wlp3s0 Permanent MAC: 00:22:FA:B4:70:AE Assigned MAC : 00:22:FA:B4:70:AE ifIndex: 2 Driver: iwlwifi Driver version: 3.9.9-302.fc19.x86_64 Firmware version: 8.83.5.1 build 33692 Bus Info: 0000:03:00.0 PCI name : 0000:03:00.0 PCI Slot : 1 Index in slot: 1 BIOS device: Kernel name: enp0s25 Permanent MAC: 00:22:68:0B:E9:D1 Assigned MAC : 00:22:68:0B:E9:D1 ifIndex: 3 Driver: e1000e Driver version: 2.2.14-k Firmware version: 1.8-3 Bus Info: 0000:00:19.0 PCI name : 0000:00:19.0 PCI Slot : Unknown Index in slot: 0 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): biosdevname-0.4.1-4.fc19.x86_64 How reproducible: always
Hi, The names enp0s25 and wlp3s0 reffer to systemd's Predictable Network Interface Names (http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames/), so biosdevname is not use at all in this case and they are perfectly ok wrt. mentioned feature. -> Closing as NOTABUG.
Thanks for enlightening me Václav.
