And your /etc/iftab should contain lines like :<br>
<br>
etho mac 00:40:F4:A4:CF:8F <br>
<br>
And if you have those, then they will map properly, and always, to what
you expect.<br>

<pre wrap=""><!---->Definitely /etc/iftab
I lost mine not too long ago (I can't recall whether it got uninstalled
automatically or I actually deleted it) and now my wireless & wired
interfaces come up randomly as either eth0 or eth1. It's a _small_
problem, because I have a few scripts (like fetchmail) that actually cared
which was which, but for the most part it's no longer necessary that they
stick to one name or the other.
