Ooh - one other thing. For some stupid reason linux has like 4 different algorithms for naming and enumerating network interfaces after it moved away from ethN, and which one it uses seems to change between kernel versions somewhat regularly.
Watch out for the pci roce ethernet interfaces renaming themselves after applying kernel service or a service pack. My recommendation is to use persistent device renaming to name them based on slot number since thats based on the iodf function fid. Or whatever makes sense to you, just dont let it default because it will rename them out from under you at a really bad time.
