For what it's worth... There's a command called ifrename which is part of Jean Tourrilhes wireless tools package which gives control over how network interfaces are named. It uses a file /etc/iftab which maps interfaces to names based on descriptors. Usually the only descriptor is a mac address but other criteria can be used as well. -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
