Otherwise this can be done with a simple mapping, e.g.
auto eth0 eth1
mapping eth*
script /usr/local/sbin/map-scheme
and in the map-scheme script,
mac=$(/sbin/ifconfig "$1" | \
sed -n '/^.*HWaddr \([:[:xdigit:]]*\).*/{s//\1/;y/abcdef/ABCDEF/;p;q;}')
which contains the MAC address. The advantage is that one can put
other things, such as netenv-related ones.
