What is the eml network interface in Fedora linux?

When I run 'netstat -rn' on my Fedora linux box, I get the following:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags   MSS Window  irtt Iface
0.0.0.0         10.4.202.250    0.0.0.0         UG        0 0          0 em1
10.4.202.0      0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U         0 0          0 em1

What is the meaning of 'eml' in the IFace column? I thought it had to be something like eth0.

That's a number one, not an "ell". – daxlerod – 2012-01-24T18:30:37.537

Embedded NICs are em1, em2 etc. they used to be eth0, eth1 before Fedora 15.

You might be able to change it according to this article. (Disclaimer: I have not done what is suggested on the link.)
