These are the observations - 1) Remove 70-persistent-net.rules in /etc/udev/rules.d/ 2) make sure that the ifcfg-ethN file in /etc/sysconfig/network is renamed to ifcfg-emN. Also, i observed that the ifcfg-ethN file did not have any state such as MAC address embedded. 3) Install latest version of biosdevname utility biosdevname-0.3.7 4) reboot the system and observe that the biosdevname suggested names are in place and the configured ifcfg-emN is up.
