Bug#59655: Multiple ethernet card configuration.

[karlheg@bittersweet.inetarena.com (Karl M. Hegbloom)]

Package: modconf
Severity: wishlist

 When I insert an ethernet module, I want `modconf' to write a file in
 "/etc/modutils" called "ethernet-aliases" with a line in it like
 "aliase eth0 MYCARD", as well as a file called MYCARD with the
 "options" from the dialog box in it.  It then needs to run
 update-modules, and `modprobe eth0'.

 I want it to know (via that file) when another module will be the
 secondary or tertiary interface, and write a line with an alias to
 the "ethernet-aliases" file, &c.

 "/etc/modules" should then contain "eth0" rather than "MYCARD", as
 well as a line for each additional ethernet card.

 This makes it simpler later on if you want to change ethernet cards,
 or swapt which one is eth0/eth1.
