Hallo,

I wrote a small tool called nameif some time ago. It names network interfaces
based on a file containing MAC addresses. This way you can maintain a stable
network configuration even when the kernel changes probe orders
(e.g. when modules are loaded in a different order or the kernel version
changes). Basically it does the same job as scsidev, only for network
interfaces. 

I appended the simple file for reference. There is no man page yet, but
I'll write one. 

Would anyone complain when I add it to net-tools ?
