Just to be clear: is using the default physical link name true only in the case of upgrade, or will it also be true with fresh installation? Previously, we said that with fresh installation, the links will be net0, net1, etc. Because of the risk, will the first putback have the physical link names in both fresh install and upgrades? but with the vanity naming and the /dev/net nodes, > third party applications will have the environment to test with the > vanity named link, and we can change the default behavior later > (actually, asap). > >> > Sure anther example is the autopush configuration.

My idea of the list is to give an indication to the admin of some configurations that must be checked and adjusted if links are renamed other than the physical link names. Even a partial list I think will already be helpful. Perhaps the four that we mentioned (IP filter, zones, all IP configurations, autopush) can suffice for now. If any one can think of other associated configurations, we can always add them.
