Richard,

This is the standard for recent Fedora based systems, they do "pXpY"
where X represents seperate devices, and Y represents ports on that
device. Using rules, it ensures that if you install or swap an ethernet
device you always get a new unique name instead of one you already had.

It's been this way for at least the last 2 releases.

Thanks,
Jake
