Actually I am confused by the doc of ifname=, which said: Note: If you use this option you _must_ specify an ifname= argument for all interfaces used in ip= or fcoe= arguments. I think it is out-of-date? In my case, "ip=eth0.2:dhcp ifname=eth0:XXX", eth0.2 appears in ip= but does not have to be in ifname=, as you suggested. What's more, how about bridge and bonding cases? Do we have to specify the slave device in ifname= instead of the master device??
