      Similar to the transition from RHEL8 to RHEL9 we again have NIC device name changes coming in RHEL10, though they're significantly fewer than we had in RHEL8 to RHEL9. The ones we know of now are in the ice i40e drivers which go fromĀ ens2f0 to ens2f0np0 for example.

      The outcome here is that for all future releases the NIC device naming supplied in places like SR-IOV config will need to match the device names that are used in the boot images that a host utilizes. Today and into the future that'll likely be RHEL9, but if someone were to switch to RHEL10 boot images they would need to use device names native to RHEL10.
