Please confirm. Biosdevname uses SMBIOS type 41 to name onboard interfaces. It looks like the system does not have type 41 defined from looking at the dmidecode output attached. If type 41 is not available, it falls back to PCI IRQ routing table. The attached output looks like this - PCI Interrupt Routing 1.0 present.

Confirmed.
Biosdevname uses SMBIOS type 41 to name onboard interfaces. It looks like the system does not have type 41 defined from looking at the dmidecode output attached. If type 41 is not available, it falls back to PCI IRQ routing table.
The attached output looks like this -
PCI Interrupt Routing 1.0 present. Router ID: 00:1f.0 Exclusive IRQs: None Compatible Router: 8086:122e Slot Entry 1: ID 00:00, on-board Slot Entry 2: ID 00:01, on-board Slot Entry 3: ID 01:00, slot number 4 Slot Entry 4: ID 00:02, on-board Slot Entry 5: ID 00:1b, on-board Slot Entry 6: ID 00:1c, on-board Slot Entry 7: ID 02:00, slot number 6 ------> note this.
It seems to suggest that device 02:00.0 (Intel 82573E) is on slot 6. So biosdevname thinks it is on slot 6 and names it pci6p1.
Yes, I understand that, I just wanted to point out that that interface IS embedded, but wasn't named as such. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Just a quick update - some, maybe many things depend on 'eth' indicating a network device. See e.g. bug 677251.
FWIW, there is a tracking bug in the Fedora bugzilla for applications whose source code assumes particular ethernet device naming conventions. Hopefully these will get fixed upstream over time. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/showdependencytree.cgi?id=682334&hide_resolved=1 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Can you elaborate whether this is a code issue or a BIOS problem?
Not really - I can only offer an opinion, and say it's probably both. The BIOS probably doesn't deliver quite the right information, and biosdevname fails to deal with a slightly misbehaving BIOS. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Can you elaborate whether this is a code issue or a BIOS problem?
The incorrect name is due to wrong PIRQ table entry which says the device is add-in. This is a BIOS issue (as mentioned in comment #5) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Using biosdevname in the current state, regardless of whether the issue is really a BIOS bug, could cause problems in future SLED/S. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
