Hello, I am trying to rename a couple of interfaces, and it works for some, for others not. Trying to find what I may be doing wrong, a patter that seems to emerge, is, that if names longer than 14Bytes are not supported. Maybe the " make up for the missing bytes up to 16. F.e.: ifconfig_epair6a_name="jail_template_local" does not work. The interface names remaines epair6a. Is that documented anywhere? Or can anyone confirm this limit on solid grounds? Just to make sure I have not done anything other wrong. Thanks Ede
