I'm not "expecting" anything, just thinking about how to better handle
those cases where it's important that pf rules, etc, operate on a
specific physical interface (regardless of what other devices are
installed or configured in the system).
I've never yet had occasion to tinker with config/ukc, but in looking at
its manpage and experimenting with it a bit I don't see any obvious way
of specifying a particular physical device regardless of what slot it's
in -- so I don't think this could accomplish what I'm looking to do.
What's needed is a unique identifier for each physical device and a way
to key off of it; for ethernet and fiber NICs, at least, the hardware
MAC address is the only obvious candidate for such an ID.
