Description:

apply BIOS-given names to network devices

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). . This also works as a straight udev rule, which is provided. . Home Page: http://linux.dell.com/biosdevname/
