Internal: Changing em1 to eth0 configuration on Fedora Core 15

Anonym

The steps below allow to convert a em1 configuration to eth0 on a Fedora core 15 machine.

By default  FC15 OS is configured as follow:  

         Ethernet on motherBoard= em1  

Using the udev rules to rename em1 to eth0 does not seem to work on FC15. Indeed  the following file: 

        /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

does not seem to exist on this system when it is a fresh installation. Note it exists after a system upgrade.

Adding this file and rebooting the machine did not help too. 

One way to rename em1 to eth0 on FC15 is then to modify the following parameter when launching the kernel: 

 

        biosdevname=0

In that case the network devices are renamed to eth

 

Note that we probably need to share these details with cautious since it can perhaps affect the system configuration.
