In specific, "eth0 in the OS does not always map to the integrated NIC Gb1 as labelled on the chassis". http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=125510301513312&w=2 - (Re: PATCH: Network Device Naming mechanism and policy) http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=125619338904322&w=2 - ([PATCH] udev: create empty regular files to represent net) This was not favored. * We also had proposed an installer based approach where installers would provide options to rename kernel eth names to namespaces based on different policies like smbios names etc. That was also not favored. As a result of these discussions we propose another solution - 1.Export smbios strings of onboard devices, to sysfs. For example - cat /sys/class/net/eth0/device/smbiosname Embedded NIC 2 cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:03\:00.0/smbiosname Embedded NIC 2 2. User space library like libnetdevname would map these smbiosname names to eth names and eth names to smbiosnames 3. User space tools would use the smbios alias names in addition to the eth names they already support. This ensures that, right interface is referred to, irrespective of how the interface is named by the kernel (eth0 or eth1..). For example: /sbin/ethtool -p "Embedded NIC 1" (Might be eth0 or eth1) /sbin/ip link show "Embedded NIC 2" Please refer to - * http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/Oss/libnetdevname#Linux_Enumeration_of_NICs_in_the_Enterprise - for more information for more information on the issue we are trying to address * http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/Oss/libnetdevname#Proposal_2: - for more information on the current proposal. Submitting the patch which addresses point 1 mentioned above for review.
