	Intel Celeron 400 MHz
	256 MB SDRAM memory
	3 network interfaces:
	 - pcn0
	 - xl0
	 - rl0
	
>Description:
	When I rename my network interfaces with ifconfig, I can't use them with PF anymore.
	For example:

	nat on rl0 from 10.0.0.0/24 to any -> (rl0)

	This line works. But renaming the interface:

	ifconfig rl0 name foo

	and using the following line in pf.conf:

	nat on foo from 10.0.0.0/24 to any (foo)

	does not. It won't apply NAT to my network packets (according to tcpdump).

>How-To-Repeat:
	ifconfig rl0 name foo
>Fix:
	Sorry, don't have one.
