23 __nameif__ renames network interfaces based on mac
24 addresses. When no arguments are given ''/etc/mactab'' is
25 read. Each line of it contains an interface name and a
26 Ethernet MAC address. Comments are allowed starting with #.
27 Otherwise the interfaces specified on the command line are
28 processed. ''nameif'' looks for the interface with the
29 given MAC address and renames it to the name
30 given.
