IIRC, biosdevname was already introduced in some RHEL6 release, but only
enabled on Dell hardware.  And it was further extended to be used more
widely in RHEL7.  The biosdevname package seems to be installed by
default at least.

On my servers I usually rename interfaces to indicate which network
segment the interface belongs to (through HWADDR= in ifcfg-*).  But on
all my EL7 based laptops, both the wireless and physical Ethernet cards
uses the new naming scheme.
