I detest the name "lom", and my initial reaction was in response to that. But reading the wiki page, I guess it makes sense. My 2650s (and I think my 2850) have two on-board NICs and they always come up as eth0 and eth1 in the same order. They appear to come up in the same order when no udev rules exist - or at least they always come up in the same order when booted from a LiveCD. The wiki page implies this is *not* the case with these newer generation of servers, so I can see that something needed to be done, but the name "lom" seems atrocious - my initial reaction was to wonder if my video card, USB and firewire ports should be named something different if they're built into the mainboard. I'm not really qualified to comment, but my instinct is to prefer a more general solution - that all ports should be named ethX, but (in the absence of udev rules) always to be numbered in MAC address order, for instance.
