Hi,

If we don't support this as part of the interface renaming stuff, it
would certainly be good to.

Subject: Re: Same NIC name to MAC mapping on FreeBSD

On my production systems, I've never seen it deviate without hardware
changes.

Are you seeing otherwise?

In Hyper-V, if say three NICs were assigned to the VM, I got following mapping
Initially:

Hn0 -> MAC 0
Hn1 -> MAC 1
Hn2 -> MAC2

Then if I remove the NIC with MAC 1 and reboot, I want the other two interfaces 
to keep the same
Names instead of reassigning hn1 to MAC2. This is a requirement from virtual 
appliance
Vendor to retain such mappings.  I am wondering if there is any way to do this 
without
Asking customer or manually editing any config files.
do interface arrivals show up in devd? if so they could be renamed on arrival I vaguely remember being able to do this some years ago but I can't remember the details.


Thanks,
Wei
