+          controllers, the same value of the <varname>ID_NET_NAME_SLOT</varname> property might be derived
+          for those controllers. This would cause a naming conflict if the property is selected as the device
+          name. Now, we detect this situation and don't produce the <varname>ID_NET_NAME_SLOT</varname>

+
+          <para>PCI hotplug slot names for the s390 PCI driver are a hexadecimal representation
+          of the <filename>function_id</filename> device attribute. This attribute is now used to build the
+          <varname>ID_NET_NAME_SLOT</varname>. Before that, all slot names were parsed as decimal
+          numbers, which could either result in an incorrect value of the <varname>ID_NET_NAME_SLOT</varname>
+          property or none at all.</para>
+
+          <para>Some firmware and hypervisor implementations report unreasonable high numbers for the onboard
+          index. To prevent the generation of bogus onbard interface names, index numbers greater than 16381
+          (2^14-1) were ignored. For s390 PCI devices index values up to 65535 (2^16-1) are valid. To account
+          for that, the limit is increased to now 65535.</para></listitem>
