Hi! i had a very unpleasant surprise when an unconnected interface named enp97s0f1 was renamed when connected .. and after reboot i seen this in dmesg:
[ 3.665192] bnxt_en 0000:61:00.1 enp97s0f1d1: renamed from enp97s0f1

does anyone have any idea what is going on? I disabled anything i could
(to have a proper normal nic that do not act and do things behind the OS) like making sure that the broadcom nic is set to SF and disabled any function that could be disabled.. so why the rename?

Thanks!
Adrian
