Aside from the 3 or 4 updates to biosdevname that changed the "immutable" names, I've just found another fail: I replaced my motherboard and since this one has native gigabit, I didn't re-install the separate NIC.
Naturally, my one and only ethernet interface is now called em1 instead of p6p1.
This really worked infinitely better before they solved this problem. All I had to do was remove the 70-persistent-net udev file and let it get automatically regenerated from scratch.

Boot with "biosdevname=0" or "biosdevname=0 net.ifnames=0" and use eth[0,1..] as before.

yum erase biosdevname ;)
Yea, that works for f18, but in f19, they have yet another immutable name generator so that if you merely erase biosdevname you wind up getting this new thing which generates even more descriptive names, something like "erdxq27p" (OK, I made that up :-).
And as near as I can tell the udev rule that would generate the 70-persistent-net file for me is utterly gone, so I have to dig up cryptic syntax to make my own persistent name file.
All-in-all, it is easier to just rename things when biosdevname changes them (though it would have been even easier if know one had ever thought of this nonsense in the first place).

F18 still stands! F19/20 - https://lists.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test :)

Also "yum erase biosdevname" does not work with live-cd/install-cd/etc.
