Hi,
thanks for your answer.
I had looked in the rpm and I suppose you mean this file:
/lib/udev/rules.d/71-biosdevname.rules
it doesn't talk pci ports/slots, but your explanation of biosdevname
is enough for me, I hope the man page will be updated in the future.

Have a look in the rpm and you'll see the rule file listed. p2 is pci slot 2
and p1 is port 1. Looks consistent to me.
