If you are managing 1 or 10 that are not the same, then yes, but if
one is managing 10,000+ physical linu servers with a very few
models/layouts (spanning the 5-9 year life you are dealing with) and
you up front determine the mappings by model then by pcid mapping is
great.

Right, but they should have special cased a single NIC system
and just left the name eth0, would have avoided vast amounts
of trouble for people with common desktops that only have
a single NIC.

it is not a step back for enterprise servers with 2 or more vendors

We were doing a udev rule (by pci-busid) so the right cards were in
the right places, and had (pci-busid) rules for each model so that the
names were always the same. The "new" standard makes what we (and

I consider the "improvement" a step backwards. Certainly for
a desktop system with one and only one ethernet
a big thanks to those that commented on this thread.
further reading of some RH portal docs, i decided my notion was an

The simplest is to add "net.ifnames=0" to "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX" in
"/etc/defa

You have to get the system to stop inventing "immutable" names
first, which means adding net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0 to the
kernel boot parameters which means learning how to use
