[Bug 1295873] Re: biosdevname messes up interface names from emX to renameX

[Faye Salwin]

The interface was set to renameX during installation, I suspect because dhcp was triggered before udev had settled.
This named my interface renameX in /etc/network/interfaces, which meant that network-interface.conf was triggering when it saw the renameX interface.

Changing the interface name in /etc/network/interfaces to p1p2, the next
reboot brought the interface back with the p1p2 name.
