Which init.d script? I have no init.d script for ifrename ... (whether hotplug installed or not) I note that ifrename 'works' on startup on another server (which has hotplug installed), but there is no init.d script. Quite *how* ifrename actually works, then, is a mystery to me; but it clearly does. (I have changed the contents of /etc/iftab and re-run 'ifrename' there quite a few times and the changes are always properly reflected at boot-up.) Perhaps I'm getting confused....
