<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Courrier New"">I have a problem with the renaming of the network interfaces (dell poweredge r710). At every boot, one of the interface will be renamed to renameX and
it’s never the same one. In the output I pasted below bios device p2p2 has been renamed to rename7. Also as you can see the p2p3 is renamed p2p2 instead of p2p3. Anybody knows why this occurs?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
