Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
* Package name : biosdevname
Version : 0.3.7
Upstream Author : Matt Domsch <[email protected]>
* URL : http://linux.dell.com/biosdevname/
* License : GPL2
Programming Lang: C
Description : biosdevname in its simplest form takes a kernel
device name
as an argument, and returns the BIOS-given name it "should" be.

This is necessary on systems where the BIOS name for a given device
(e.g. the label on the chassis is "Gb1") doesn't map directly and
obviously to the kernel name (e.g. eth0).
