 ng_ether(4) creates all nodes when it's loaded, or when a new
 interface is attached, and it *attempts* to name a node with
 its interface's name.  This is not guaranteed though.
 
 If you need to rename interfaces, you can load ng_ether module
 *after* doing the renames.  It's not ideal, e.g., it'll still
 require manual intervention if a new interface is plugged, but
 I don't think that automatic renaming of nodes should happen,
 unconditionally.
