Normally these devices come up in the same order each time.
It is not gauranteed, unfortunately, because device bring up can

Greetings,
I've been running a Debian based firewall for a number of years and have
a need to update the hardware, so have decided to change the OS over to
OpenBSD at the same time.
The box has 4 NICs(identical make/model) and by using 'ifrename' I'm
able to specify which NICs are assigned e
