How does one specify a 'symbolic' name for an ethernet interface; i.e. be
able to refer to rl0, vx1 or ep0 by a name like 'net0, net1' or 'net2'.

With net1 et.al. tied to a specific PCI slot or card Mac address. So that
it becomes easier to write HW independed rc.conf or zebra.conf files.

Thanks.
