Ah, I see. On my systems, I get:

===
em1: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
         ether f0:de:f1:fc:65:b3  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)

So the script says "grab any non-space character up to the colon (foo:).
Your now showing a colon, so it fails to match.

Try replacing:

===
        if ($line =~ /^(\S+):/)
===

With:


===
        if ($line =~ /^(\S+)/)
===

Strike that, I see that you are also showing the HWADDR on the same
line, so the whole regex this is going to miss your output.

Skip the script; The main thing is to take the 'em1 ... HWadd:
aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff' and put it in 70-persistent-net.rules as (one line);

SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*",
ATTR{address}=="aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff", NAME="eth0"

Then in you 'ifcfg-eth0' file, set 'DEVICE="eth0"' and make sure there
is no HWADDR="..." line. Reboot and you should be golden.

He's going to have to create an ifcfg file for this device, right? Will the ifup do the right thing for an em hardware interface renamed to eth (don't have em so can't compare)
