[Bug 949473] Re: resolvconf is unaware of biosdevname NIC names

[Thomas Hood]

Hmm, must read up on biosdevnames....  At
http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/b/techcenter/archive/2011/10/06
/announcing-the-release-of-biosdevname-0-3-11.aspx we learn:

Embedded devices:  emX_Y  (X = embedded LOM ID, Y = NPAR NIC index) -- e.g., em1_1, em1_2, em2, ....
Add-in cards:  pXpY_Z  (X=PCI slot, Y=port#, Z = NPAR NIC index) -- e.g., p6p1_1, p6p1_2, p6p2_1, ....

Title:
  resolvconf is unaware of biosdevname NIC names

Status in “resolvconf” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  resolvconf is unaware of how to handle biosdevname NIC names, which
  are of the form em* and p*p*.

  In the resolvconf (1.63ubuntu9) source package, bin/list-records lacks
  these entries, and line 27 of etc/resolvconf/interface-order lacks
  them as well:

  PATTERNS="lo* eth* ath* wlan* ppp* *"

  I am not sure of the preferred ordering to fix this.
