[sles-beta] Network Interfaces change name between install and first boot

[Darren Thompson]

Gregory/Team

This would have been my preference also: "Maybe the older style Ethernet
ethx names could become default aliases of the hardware specific names."

I was advised that it was not possible to do, but did not investigate it
myself.

Perhaps some clever crafting of "udev" rules could achieve the same, even
as a "post install" process.
