question on ifcfg-em1 (consitent network device naming related)

[Kashyap Chamarthy]

Hi,

So it's been a few days now with F15 beta, with the sleek Gnome3 installed.(Machine - DELL 
Precision T5400). Apart from a few glitches, this looks good.

Now, I'm aware of the 'Consistent-Network-Device-Naming' feature.

Question:
	- In the stock F15 install, I don't see an 'ifcfg-em1' file in network-scripts directory. 
Is that intentional?
		+ I use plenty of Virtualization with bridging. So do I have to manually create 
ifcfg-em1 (without HWADDR entry -- I read this in the release-note that all HWADDR entries 
shall be removed from ifcfg-*) ?


Here is some info which confirms that my DELL machine is impacted.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
[root at sunrise export]# ./Biosdevname-support-check.sh
Checking hardware requirements                             [  OK  ]
Checking for SMBIOS type 41 support                        [FAILED]
Checking for SMBIOS type 9 support                         [  OK  ]
Checking for PCI Interrupt Routing support                 [  OK  ]
[root at sunrise export]#
--------------------------------------------------------------------
[root at sunrise ~]# ls /sys/class/net
em1  lo  virbr0
[root at sunrise ~]#
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Note: I manually created an ifcfg-em1 andifcfg-br0(for bridging) with usual parameters 
(*except* HWADDR) ; stopped NM ; start good old 'network' and things work just fine with 
bridging.

thanks,
