Oh, it's completely predictable, as long as you understand that Fedora's rules appear to be different than upstreams :-) http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ConsistentNetworkDeviceNaming#User_Experience - as it's detected as a PCI device, it gets prefixed with 'p', it's detected as being in slot 5 and port 1 so therefore becomes p5p1, easy eh? :-) Apparently, I can disable this by adding 'biosdevname=0' to my kernel command line.

Yes, the rule generated in 70-persistent-net.rules is: # net device r8169 SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="5c:9a:d8:57:75:2e", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="enp*", NAME="enp7s0" So, it will always be crap no matter how many times I reboot (oh, if only this were Windows, a random number of reboots might get it to be correct :-) ) > > I > > can only assume this is /lib/udev/write_net_rules (called toward the end > > of init-net-rules.sh) doing this? > > Yes, that writes 70-persistent-net.rules. So it is write_net_rules that is generating that stupid NAME= value into the rules file? If so, due to the ATTR{address} match, I can easily change that back to 'eth0', but I'd like that to be done automagically, if possible.
