[Bug 1455871] Re: biosdevname isn't giving interface names as expected

[Timo Aaltonen]

Hello Kamal, or anyone else affected,

Accepted biosdevname into trusty-proposed. The package will build now
and be available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/biosdevname/0.4.1-0ubuntu6.2 in a
few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

  [Other Info]

  Original Bug Description:

  We see an issue with the biosdevname package that comes with ubuntu
  14.04.2 package version 0.4.1-0ubuntu6.1.

  There is two issue that we see with Mellanox Card that include two ports:
  1- Both ports aren't given interface names with format of "p<num>p<num> (e.g. p514p1) as expected.
  2- Second port isn't given "BIOS device" at all.

  After update the biosdevname to version 0.6.2 we don't see the issue (
  please see below the output of the biosdevname before and after the
  update).

  Could please update the version of the biosdevname package to fix this
  issue.

  Output from "biosdevname -d" for biosdevname 0.4.1-0ubuntu6.1, "BIOS
  device" and "Kernel name" aren't the same.
