I'm running this on Slackware. It's a bit convoluted and maybe there
is a cleaner way, but here's what I did:
1) Put aliases under /etc/modprobe.conf (not sure if this is really
needed, but rc.intet1 does some parsing based on aliases)
alias eth0 tg3
alias wlan0 bcm43xx
2) Put in some configuration options in rc.inet1.conf (this one
doesn't quite work on just on its own even though that's what it's
for)
USE_DHCP[0]="no"
IFNAME[0]="wlan0"
USE_DHCP[1]="yes"
IFNAME[1]="eth0"
3) Used ifrename in rc.inet1 just before it does its counting and
naming of interfaces:
if [ -f /etc/iftab ]; then
/sbin/ifrename -p
fi
4) Created iftab:
eth0 mac XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
wlan0 mac YY:YY:YY:YY:YY:YY
If someone uses slackware and has a better way I'd love to hear it,
but this seems to work.
