Bug ID: 219746
Summary: Renaming (ifconfig(8)) tap(4) misses its character
special device name
Product: Base System
Version: 11.0-STABLE
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Some People
Priority: ---
Component: bin
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Not sure if it's kern/ or bin/, both are involved I guess.
Renaming vmnet/tap(4) interfaces, defined in rc.conf(5) via
"cloned_interfaces" e.g, isn't prohibited by rc(8)-network.subr nor by
ifconfig(8).
If such a interface is renamed, the Ethernet device shows up correctly,
with the new name and ifconfig(8) also reports the new name if it's
created and renamed in the same invocation.
Problem is, the control device isn't renamed, it will keep it's initial
creation name like tap0 and I found no userland way to determine the
corresponding Ethernet IF name.
