I like to run a generic kernel and use loadable modules so I don't compile my own kernel yet. I will try that if I can't fix it any other way. -- D'Arcy J.M.

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=247439 Hans Petter Selasky changed: What|Removed |Added CC||hsela...@freebsd.org --- Comment #1 from Hans Petter Selasky --- Hi, The line you are looking for is: if_initname(ifp, "ue", ue->ue_unit); I'm not sure if it will solve anything to have different names for the USB ethernet adapters. They are currently named the same because these are USB devices, and so it is easy to recognize them. If you want to map ueX to a given USB port, you need to look at the "sysctl -a" output. There is something called %parent and %location which will help you.
