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!

It's an imperfect science. My onboard NICs also come up as p1p1 and p1p2.
