Using any network interface whatsoever

[Darren Pilgrim]

I think at this point it's been pretty well established that:

- Device naming and unit numbering is not stable enough to avoid breakage 
across hardware changes.
- There is a need for generic and/or descriptive interface naming 
independent of driver- and probe-order-based naming.
- There are static bits of information available about each device in the 
system that can be used to locate a specific device that would be sufficient 
to allow assignment of a network configuration to a physical device, not 
it's attached name.

If I were to write an rc.d script to use descriptive network interface names 
and wire configs to static hardware identification, would there be support 
for such a feature?
