Public bug reported: We see an issue with the biosdevname package that comes with ubuntu 14.04.2 package version 0.4.1-0ubuntu6.1.
There is two issue that we see with Mellanox Card that include two ports: 1- Both ports aren't given interface names with format of "p<num>p<num> (e.g. p514p1) as expected. 2- Second port isn't given "BIOS device" at all. After update the biosdevname to version 0.6.2 we don't see the issue ( please see below the output of the biosdevname before and after the update). Could please update the version of the biosdevname package to fix this issue. Output from "biosdevname -d" for biosdevname 0.4.1-0ubuntu6.1, "BIOS device" and "Kernel name" aren't the same.
