No, in all cases these are completely new installs on baremetal. The effect 
isn't reproducible in a VM where I always get a p2p1 device whether booting 
from install media or from the installed OS. On baremetall ip addr when booted 
from live media is en5s0 (something like that) and when booted from the 
installed system it's p5p1 or p5p2. I don't have access to that hardware for 
another couple of weeks.d

The configuration files weren't renamed. The ip addr  or ip link reported 
device is what's different. The effect is that when the device is p5p1, yet 
there's a configuration file created by anaconda ifcfg-en5s0, even though that 
file has a line ONBOOT=yes, the wired connection wasn't automatically being 
enabled. But again, even I'm not understanding the intended behavior so part of 
this is learning and testing and the ensuing confusion.
