Well, probably not "soon". RHEL lags Fedora by at least a couple of
years, generally. F15 "broke" a lot of other things with the moves to
systemctl, Gnome3, etc, btw. Also, btw, there's been a huge amount of
controversy and bikeshedding over the pro/con of ethx names, which have
been somewhat arbitrarily assigned for some time.

Yes, I am aware Fedora changed the naming convention. My question is: How
can I get the xymon network traffic graph (in trends) to work again? The
only network traffic graph I have still only has eth0 in it (from old data
before the Fedora upgrade.) I could probably force the name back to eth0
in the OS, but that seems like a cheesy workaround, since this is how the
naming is going to be going forward. How can I get xymon to become aware
that my NIC is called p33p1?
Thanks for any guidance.

Vernon is correct. Fedora 15 moves away from eth[0-9], at least in
some circumstances. See
