A maintainer/developer of ifupdown implemented this also there. Its standard in Debian Sid now, that you can use MAC addresses in /e/n/i to address interfaces. There has been a huge and long thread on debian-devel about naming of network interfaces that triggered a maintainer of ifupdown to implement this new feature. See manpage interfaces(5) on Debian Sid under PATTERN MATCHING INTERFACES. For thread see: Debian 9 in a VM with Proxmox 5 system => Naming of network devices https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2017/07/threads.html#00115 And here is the the mail about the MAC address pattern matching that Guus Sliepen implemented: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2017/07/msg00265.html But as Adam who replied to this mail then is on this list, it may be that he mentioned all of this already… however how can I know in a thread that goes about everything and the universe.
