Bad idea. The cfg164d8f name is not guaranteed to stay constant with changes to the section, so you should name the alias section instead of relying on autogenerated names on anonymous sections.

Because netifd looks up names internally, it does not use the uci extended lookup syntax. > also in http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/uci/network#aliases > there is warning for 'deprecated'. what is the better way? You can create an interface section, and use @lan as ifname. The alias syntax will stay supported though. - Felix _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
