This would obviously change the syntax of bridge_hw but it would accomplish what we need with a syntax that follows the Consistent Network Device Naming idea. Meanwhile the generic hwaddress that is implemented by ifupdown could still be used for specifying a MAC address if it's absolutely needed. I like it. Thanks! Martin-Éric
