Topic
Updated biosdevname packages that fix several bugs and add various enhancements are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.
Description
The biosdevname packages contain an optional convention for naming network
interfaces, which assigns names to network interfaces based on their physical
location. The biosdevname utility is disabled by default, except for a limited set of Dell PowerEdge, C Series, and Precision Workstation systems.
The biosdevname packages have been upgraded to upstream version 0.6.1, which
provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version.
(BZ#1145572)
The most notable changes include the following:
- The "dev_port" attribute for a new Mellanox driver has been added.
(BZ#1073045)
- The biosdevname utility has been fixed to ignore the naming of Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) devices. (BZ#1142227)
Users of biosdevname are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs and add these enhancements.
