It seems they finally broke udev in Fedora 19...it can no longer
rename ethX to ethY, for whatever reason.

Is there a way to specify the naming on the kernel command line?

I found something in google that made me think this might work:

ifname=eth0:00:30:48:fc:17:a2 ifname=eth1:00:30:48:fc:17:a3 ifname=eth2:00:e0:ed:1c:ec:e4 ifname=eth3:00:e0:ed:1c:ec:e5

but it doesn't seem to have any affect.

I'm using ixgbe and e1000e drivers, loaded as modules, in case that matters.

Thanks,
Ben
