+ <para>
+ The <function>udevd</function> service has a long history of providing predictable names for block devices and others. Fedora will now also use <function>udev</function> naming for network interfaces by default, providing more reliable interface names on systems with multiple network devices. Alternative naming schemes, such as custom udev rules or <package>biosdevname</package>, will override this default. Users upgrading from previous releases may need to update the device names referenced in <filename>/etc/system/network-scripts/</filename>, although in most cases <package>biosdevname</package> will continue to manage naming.
