Hello,

I've updated in a VMWare a 7.0-RELEASE to CURRENT exactly as described in
the handbook, i.e. following the procedure in 24.7 Rebuilding "world";

after having up the VM again, network was not coming up and it took me
some minutes to realize that the interface name changed from 'le0' to 'le1':

Mar 23 14:28:40 vm-naranja kernel: le0: <AMD PCnet-PCI> port 0x2000-0x207f irq 19 at device 1.0 on pci2
Mar 23 14:28:40 vm-naranja kernel: le0: 16 receive buffers, 4 transmit buffers
Mar 23 14:28:40 vm-naranja kernel: le0: Ethernet address: 00:0c:29:78:48:c6
Mar 23 14:28:40 vm-naranja kernel: le0: [ITHREAD]

Mar 24 09:13:39 vm-naranja kernel: le1: <AMD PCnet-PCI> port 0x2000-0x207f irq 19 at device 1.0 on pci2
Mar 24 09:13:39 vm-naranja kernel: le1: 16 receive buffers, 4 transmit buffers
Mar 24 09:13:39 vm-naranja kernel: le1: Ethernet address: 00:0c:29:78:48:c6
Mar 24 09:13:39 vm-naranja kernel: le1: [ITHREAD]

I changed the name in rc.conf and all was fine again; but what could have
caused this change? there is no le0 anymore, only le1 and the config of
the VM was not changed, not even powered-off?
