Is it possible to provide a tool (a shell script?) that would print out the new would-be name of the interface provided by the user so that it would be possible to migrate remote systems only accessible via SSH? I mean, a sysadmin would then be able to determine the new name of the network interface, reflect this change in the firewall setup and other relevant places, delete 70-persistent-net.rules and reboot the box (or may be perform some more involved encantation with calling ifdown / ip link name ... / ifup while in a screen/tmux session). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
