Description: Vyatta version of the biosdevname utility.
-
+ Provides biosdevname which 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).
