Currently, as I understand it, to get back the eth0 naming scheme, one has
remove biosdevname as well as add the net.ifnames=0. Does that mean that
with F21, we will no longer need the step of rpm -e biosdevname?
The term "more or less" seems a bit unclear.
I'm looking at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Documentation_Networking_Beat as well as the
bug report linked above, and from *that*, it looks as if it will no longer
be necessary for the rpm -e biosdevname step.
Thanks
Hmm, I have biosdevname installed (and always have) and have never put
net.ifnames=0 anywhere that I'm aware of. I've used the
syntax that I put thru earlier since F19 and I'm now on F22.
