The interface might get a stupid name but at least it's the *same* stupid name every time, as opposed to the old method where interfaces were liable to change names based on what you did with your hardware this morning or the phases of the moon... -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
