There's an upstream conversation about the naming convention here: http://marc.info/?l=linux-hotplug&m=129003163201746&w=2 For the record, right now, biosdevname uses: emN_(vf).(vlan) for embedded devices pci(slot)#(port)_(vf).(vlan) for add-in cards. If the device does not support SR-IOV, then the _(vf) part is omitted. If no huge objections on the upstream thread, I'll push this into rawhide ASAP.
