I saw this in 12.04 for the first time today after updating the system
(not sure if that's relevant or just a coincidence). Any chance this
fix can be added to 12.04?

Title:
[SRU] biosdevname returns identical names for two different devices.
Status in “biosdevname” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in “biosdevname” source package in Saucy:
In Progress
Status in “biosdevname” source package in Trusty:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
SRU justification :
The 'addslot' function can return the same value for two or more
interfaces (same dev->index_in_slot), causing the interfaces on a
given PCI slot get same port number. This could trigger a rename to a
different name space (such as rename*) presented on LP: #1284043.
Example problematic behavior:
# biosdevname -i em1
em1
# biosdevname -i em2
em3
# biosdevname -i em3
em4
# biosdevname -i rename3
em2
Another user points:
On first reboot the names are different. eth0 renamed to p4p1 and eth1 renamed to p4p2
then on next reboot eth0 renamed to p4p1 and eth1 renamed to rename3
Impact :
Without this SRU users will experience erroneous output from
biosdevname ( renamed interfaces) as noticed on LP: #1293633 and LP:
#1284043
Fix :
Apply fix from upstream project.
Origin: upstream, http://linux.dell.com/cgi-bin/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?p=biosdevname.git;a=commit;h=0bc6ce6d8da61153e7bfd1c3444ab06c0c83d0af
Bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=782145
Test Case :
1) Have one or more PCI ethernet cards attached
2) Have one or more onboard ethernet cards available.
3) Run biosdevname -d and notice the renamed interfaces.
If you get some rename* interfaces this bug isn't fixed, if you can
see the correct bios hardware names associated with the interface,
it's fixed.
Regression :
None expected
