Ifrename can use a variety of selectors to specify how interface names match the network interfaces on the system, the most common selector is the interface MAC address. ms@spot:~$ cat /etc/iftab lan mac 00:... wlan mac 00:... ms@spot:/etc/network/if-pre-up.d$ cat ifrename #!/bin/sh IFRENAME=/sbin/ifrename [ -x "$IFRENAME" ] && $IFRENAME So with staring networking renames all interfaces according to /etc/iftab.
