Well, I've no great love for FlexLM, but even less for changes to userspace that willfully break things in pursuit of this year's dubious concept of 'better'.

Well, you're right about not wanting to breaking things

But there was no 'naming convention' for network cards. And people can and will have more than one network card, with different names.

And it was changed for a very good reason https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterp...

But of course people who do "license management" stuff only cares about this when it breaks.

I'd just observe that we can agree on the problem without agreeing on the quality of the eventual/current solution.
