Bug#617820: ITP: biosdevname -- takes a kernel device name as an argument, and returns the BIOS-given name.



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name    : biosdevname
  Version         : 0.3.7
  Upstream Author :  Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
* URL             : http://linux.dell.com/biosdevname/
* License         : GPL2
  Programming Lang: C
Description : biosdevname in its simplest form takes a kernel device name
 as an argument, and returns the BIOS-given name it "should" be.
 .
 This is necessary on systems where the BIOS name for a given device
 (e.g. the label on the chassis is "Gb1") doesn't map directly and
 obviously to the kernel name (e.g. eth0).
