https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=223151 Bug ID: 223151 Summary: provide a way to get initial interface name Product: Base System Version: CURRENT Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: kern Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: yuripv@gmx.com Created attachment 187352 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=187352&action=edit keep original name, make ifconfig print it Once the interface is renamed (e.g. using `ifconfig <if> name <name>`), there doesn't seem to be an easy way to get the original (physical) device name corresponding to the interface (at least, I wasn't able to find one). Keep the original interface name, provide SIOCGIFNAME, and make ifconfig print the devname if it differs from current interface name. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.help
