That's only the beginning for the necessary changes. I'm running mdev
on this machine, so it won't affect me, but here goes...
[d531][root][~] grep -rl eth[0-9] /etc/*
/etc/conf.d/net
/etc/conf.d/network
/etc/conf.d/netmount
/etc/dosemu/dosemu.conf
/etc/hibernate/common.conf
/etc/rc.conf
I've eliminated some specific stuff that only I do.
* /etc/conf.d/net Is going to have to be modified by users.
* I believe /etc/conf.d/network is a doc file for /etc/conf.d/net.
* /etc/conf.d/netmount Who changes that?
* /etc/dosemu/dosemu.conf It's an app, but may require changes.
* /etc/hibernate/common.conf It's an app, but may require changes.
* /etc/rc.conf Is going to have to be modified by users.
"Fun" for users, and app upstreams.
