Summary: bad handling for multiple NICs

The handling of multiple network adapters is quite bad, as it is bound to the
interface number the kernel gives the device dynamicly (eth0, eth1). This might
be no big deal on desktop computers but it is quite anoying with notebooks if
you have e.g. a pcmcia wireless card and an internal network card. Then it is
possible that those two get mixed up (internel -> eth0, wireless -> eth1 or
internel -> eth1, wireless -> eth0). Those two also need a different
configuration...
That's why I'd vote for a system like the one which was invented there:
