Who are can commit changes into ng_iface.c to to support interface
renaming ?
For my concern there are two possible ways:
1. annouce setifname message for netgraph interface
for set interface name (not related with netgraph node name)
I have send this patch in list some time ago.
2. extend standart netgraph rename to rename interface simaltaniosly
with interface node rename.
This change will be helpful I think.
