Well, perhaps someone should also think about impact of name-changing.
Quite frankly, what's in a name, so why change it?
It's because in the old scheme when a machine had several ports the
mapping between the physical hardware and the dev nodes was not fixed:
the kernel would just assign names as it found interfaces. This
caused a fair bit of inconvenience.
From my side, I have a "no longer supported" SW product that
licenses itself against the MAC address of ETH0. Yep, ETH0 and not
any other name.
Put a symlink in?
Hmmmm.... I (you) have a cunning plan [in the fine words of Private
Baldrick]
I'll try it out - thanks.
