As a lesser example, I just*adore* the new ethernet names - NOT. Breaks

when you have multiple adapters, perhaps different types (maybe 2 10gigE
and 2 1gigE?) which one is eth0 supposed to be? BSD has always used
driver type in the network device names, and having dealt with device
confusions before, I understand why.
ethtool can easily tell you the capabilities of the device - you don't need magic names.
