From inside the kernel you can use ifnet.if_dname + ifnet.if_dunit, from the userland I don't know if it's possible to get a look at those fields. In any way, I suggest not to do that. ifnet.if_xname is supposed to be *the* name of the interface. There is no such thing as "original name". -- /"\ Best regards, | [EMAIL PROTECTED] \ / Max Laier | ICQ #67774661 X http://pf4freebsd.love2party.net/ | [EMAIL PROTECTED] / \ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | Against HTML Mail and News
