Howdy- Is it possible to predict PCI bus addresses for network interfaces?
Is the mapping from VirtualBox network adapter "slot" to PCI bus address stable, meaning it won't change from host to host or from guest to guest? What variables affect the mapping of VirtualBox network adapter slot to PCI bus address? Chipset? Network adapter type? The presence or absence of VirtualBox extensions? I'm curious because Systemd v197 changed the default way network interfaces are named (see: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames/), and I'm just trying to gauge the potential impact to Linux guests. For example, can I assume that the first network adapter will always attach to bus 0 slot 17 (0x11), the second network adapter will always attach to bus 0 slot 8 (0x08), etc? Or are those mappings specific to guests using the PIIX3 chipset and Intel 82545EM and 82540EM adapter types? Thanks in advance!
