Re: PATCH: Network Device Naming mechanism and policy

This makes them pretty comparable to LABELs on disks, and we have a 
/dev/disk/by-label

Remember that udev already supports symlink stacking, and priorities 
and such.

I don't think there's any danger of supporting a /dev/netdev/by-mac by

default, it'll be a benefit to most and those who don't have unique 
MACs will just ignore it.

At the moment, we do not appear to get the proper change uevents from
things like 'ip link set dev <foo> address <bar>', so we can't currently
maintain these symlinks.

I have observed that the kernel does generate a "move" event when
interfaces are renamed. Looks like udev at present doesn't handle this event, but i
suppose it could be extended to hanlde this event.
