So if I understand what's being done by this code (the git-tree at
http://linux.dell.com/git/development/libnetdevname.git is empty, so I haven't
looked at it much), it is really here to help user-space apps that would like
to use an argument other than 'ethX' to identify the card, do so.  Is that
correct?

This doesn't cover any of the work that creates the symlinks between /dev/ethX
and /dev/net/by-chassis-label/Embedded_NIC_1.  I also presume that
'Embedded_NIC_1' is a name coming from the BIOS.  Is that also correct?
