I would like to rename the network interfaces. More particularly, I would= like=20 to control the numbers in the name and to remove the constraints. For example, what are the issues about renaming my 'vr0' interface to eth= 1-3=20 or DSL-WAN that does not have a ifunit within its name ? I think about the following issues, what am I forgetting ? - update all the sockaddr_dl - many drivers, in fact all of them, log with %s%d, ifname, ifunit - (add a message on the routing socket) Regards, Vincent
