Re: [Devil-linux-develop] Feature request - Enable "nameif" to associate MAC address with correct interface name.

[Dominic R. <dl...@ed...>]

I did that, after making some improvements. Now it provides more 
warnings and info about the devices it is removing / recreating, backs 
up the old rules file, and optionally resets ifcfg-eth[n] file(s) (for 
discovered eth[n] devices) to module="autoselect". It has 2 modes of 
operation, one of which deletes the rules file (allowing complete 
redetection of hardware and perhaps successful restart of the network) 
and the other doesn't, which should allow restart of the network after 
manual configuration of the rules file. And there is help information.

I've done some testing of it but without moving network hardware around 
/ changing network hardware. When I've done that I will post it as an 
additional comment to the feature request in Mantis.
