p2p1 is a nic attached to the pic bus. I think its the second slot, first port.
(Probably the card has only one port, but some have more than one.)
Ok... And that then makes it even weirder since all my Dell towers
(Optiplex GX620 x86_64 machines and Optiplex GX280 i686 machines) are
all uniformly coming up p2p1 for the motherboard nic (they don't have
any add-on nics). Maybe it's the way they are designed... IAC, my Dell
2U PowerEdge helped me diagnose the problem and chase it into the
initramfs and biosdevname.
Thanks!

Mike
