may I suggest an alternative solution? on my firewalls I rename the eth*
to a name more meaningful to me:
"/etc/udev/rules.d/60-net.rules"
KERNEL="eth*", SYSFS{address}="00:50:ff:f6:1f:e6", NAME="lan"
KERNEL="eth*", SYSFS{address}="00:90:2e:1b:d1:55", NAME="ext"
then in "/etc/conf.d/net"
modules=( "iproute2" )
config_lan=( "192.168.69.1/24" )
the 6 bytes numbers are the mac address of the ethernet cards. This also
help to have a deterministic name of ethernet card after moving them on
pci slot, rebuilding kernel etc.
thanks for this solution goes to a gentoo dev but sadly I've forgot who .
