#5 Re: Keeping consistent network interface names with ifrename Posted by dkg (216.254.xx.xx) on Fri 23 Feb 2007 at 21:41 On machines with a lot of interfaces, i like to give them semantic names to make them easier to remember. So on my laptop, my onboard wired ethernet is "wired", my onboard wireless NIC is "wireless", my 3com PCMCIA 10/100 adapter is "3com", and the firewire network interface is "fw". easier to remember all around, plus when i plug in an unusual new interface, it can grab the generic "eth0" without my having to think about it.
