Hi. I've been in touch with Mellanox who had filed this bug [1] against the biosdevname[2] package in Universe. Somehow, this package ended up in Universe, with someone named Rudy Gevaert <rudy.geva...@ugent.be> listed as the Original Maintainer and Ubuntu Developers <ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com> as the package maintainer.
This package is SORELY out of date and has not been updated since the 4.0-1 version was introduced in Ubuntu. There have been several updates since then as shown at the Dell host site[3] while the Ubuntu package has languished. The net effect of this is that this package in Ubuntu is broken on pretty much all modern mellanox NICs (CX4, CX5). What can we do to get this updated in Eoan and then backported into Bionic?
