These "rose" network devices are showing up regularly on a i5-4570 
system running Fedora 21.  It is a very recent sometimes thing on a 
i7-4770 system running Fedora 20 and I have never seen it on an AMD 8150 
also running Fedora 20.

I am testing Fedora 21 virtually on the i7-4770 system if that makes any 
difference since I never saw this until very recently (like within the 
last week).
