Sorry, should be more explicit. I favour the first over the second because it handles interface renaming at the same location as udev does (approximately). Then ifplugd, waproamd, foobar, and xyz do not ever need to worry about it. If ifrename's syntax changes, only hotplug needs to be changed. -- .''`. martin f. krafft <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : :' : proud Debian developer, admin, user, and author `. `'` `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing a system Invalid/expired PGP subkeys?
