I'm seeing the same behavior in 13.10 saucy with some Chelsio cards. They consistently show up as rename3 and rename4.
Was there any resolution to your situation? I can supply my logs as well if that would help. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1090002 Title: biosdevname gives name of device as rename7 in Quantal Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “udev” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “linux” source package in Quantal: Confirmed Status in “udev” source package in Quantal: Confirmed Status in “linux” source package in Raring: Confirmed Status in “udev” source package in Raring: Confirmed Bug description: In Quantal kernel biosdevname feature is not working as it suppose to be. On hardware we are seeing an issue where few of the network interface names are named as rename7 etc.. while biosdevname -d utility provides the correct biosname while kernel name have been messed up. There are total 16 network interfaces on the server which are ALOMs for Emulex card connected to system. It seems this issue is a race condition and will get fixed in Fedora 18. But having fix in Quantal will help also. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=782145 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1090002/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
