+Subject: Use bus id to identify qeth devices
+References: bsc#1085617
+Upstream: merged
+Git-commit: 5c608e4d8adf57e66ce85ec62bf59887e6b860e7
+
+QETH devices may not have a stable MAC address, so dracut's ifname=
+parameter is not useful. The device's bus ID is stable, but there
+is (currently) no support in dracut, so a custom udev rule must be
+generated instead.
