I think that at least selection of the network interface by MAC-address instead of interface name should be possible. There is currently a patch pending for Ubuntu: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/60443113/S31pxedust (belonging to bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/netcfg/+bug/56679 ) Any chance of getting this into Debian as well? -- Yours sincerely, Floris Bos -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
