AFAIK=20 udev has been changed to also handle net requests, so that the interface=20 name of a new interface can be changed nameif-like within udev. Ok so far. But: What if one assumed that the add net device event will also setup=20 the interface itself via a call to 'ifconfig' or 'ifup'? Do we have a callout rule in udev which is run _after_ the device node=20 (or, in this case, the nameif call) has been run? Otherwise I don't really see much point in running udev for net events,=20 as our current ifup already uses nameif to rename the interface ... But who knows, maybe there is something totally obvious which I'd=20 overlooked.
