Are we going to the BSD style of naming?
Current scheme tries to encode physical card location to the extent
possible. I do not know what you mean under "BSD style".
* Two character prefixes based on the type of interface:
* en -- ethernet
* wl -- wlan
* ww -- wwan
*
* Type of names:
* o<index> -- on-board device index number
* s<slot>[f<function>][d
bge = boardcom igb = intel
Or to the way Fedora doing it?
p1p1 = eth0 boardcom
I think the bsd nice because you can tell what card you work with.
How is it relevant in real life? Knowing where to connect cable is important for setting it up and troubleshooting. For the first time I can predict interface name *before* server is installed. What additional advantage knowing driver gives me?

So what is broke with using eth# ?
Nothing, but only as long as you only have a single network interface from installation time onward. :-( -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation)
