I'm not sure if this is a "bug", something that has been left-out or
an intentional design decision. So feel free to tell me if I'm out to
lunch.
In FC4, initscripts-8.11.1 will not rename an interfaces based on
HWADDR unless ONBOOT=yes...
I'm upgrading to F7 (or RHEL 5) soon but I was wondering the current
status of this issue. I scoured the Changelog on RHEL5
(initscripts-8.45.14.EL) and got nothing. Before I pull down the CVS
history and follow the code path I was wondering if anyone had dealt
with this before.
If it's not fixed, should it? I can work on a patch, if needed.

P.S. I currently use a combination of HWADDR and udev rules to get the
naming of my interfaces right but it takes quite a bit of playing
sometimes and turning off/erasing kudzu config.
