From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Matt Domsch Date: Thu, 17 Feb 2011 16:15:40 +0000 Subject: biosdevname v0.3.7 Message-Id: <20110217161540.GA29554@auslistsprd01.us.dell.com> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-hotplug@vger.kernel.org, netdev@vger.kernel.org, "K, Narendra" , "Hargrave, Jordan" , "Rose, Charles" , Co biosdevname, now version 0.3.7. Major visible changes include no longer using '#' in device names (by popular demand), no longer suggesting new names if running inside a VM guest (tested with KVM, SLES 10 Xen, XenServer, VMware ESX, but it uses the generic cpuid test, so should work on most virt platforms), and a new kernel command line option 'biosdevname={0|1}' which udev honors, to force enabling or disabling of invoking biosdevname. Still to come: NPAR partition->port mapping support (initially Dell-specific, but if NIC vendors have other ways to expose this, please let me know).
