For me this doesn't seem to make any difference I tried calling it ifcfg-wlan0 and the interface didn't come up. It wouldn't come up when I did the down/up thing either. Then I renamed it ifcfg-eth1. It still wouldn't come up on boot but it would come up if I took it down and up again. So just the same as when it had the long name.
Is there anything I can get out of the boot message that would show what was happening? eth1 does get a mention during boot but doesn't stay on the screen long enough for me to see what happens. I'd appreciate any comments.
