Change NIC Name in Fedora 15/16

Traditionally, NICs are named to ethX. Since Fedora 15, biosdevname is used as a udev helper, so that NICs are named to pXXpX.

Fortunately, it is possible to disable biosdevname by appending biosdevname=0 to grub. After doing this, the sweet and lovely /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules appears again!
