Hey David,

as Antoni already pointed out, this is a basic Fedora / systemd feature.
It actually solves problems and I'd also suggest - like Antoni - to take
these new names.

I don't know of a way of turning this naming off.

This upstream document gives some more insight:
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames/

One note: The CentOS based Node is still using the "old" NIC naming.
