Description  : biosdevname in its simplest form takes a kernel device name as an

             : argument, and returns the BIOS-given name it "should" be.  This is necessary

             : on systems where the BIOS name for a given device (e.g. the label on

             : the chassis is "Gb1") doesn't map directly and obviously to the kernel

             : name (e.g. eth0).
