Interesting work, Matt. I'm surprised the Unix purists who would

you to death to keep sendmail on desktops would allow you to change the
almighty eth* naming scheme.
Why? FreeBSD (and other BSDs, I'm sure) have been naming network
interfaces based on the manufacturer, at least, for a while now (I
personally started with 7.x and am unsure of when that was new). I was
always curious why eth* was used on Linux actually.
