I am not sure if DragonflyBSD implemented that yet but on FreeBSD you can change device names, e.g:

[root at urukhai:~]# ifconfig -l 
ath0 fxp0 pfsync0 pflog0 lo0
[root at urukhai:~]# ifconfig ath0 name atheros
[root at urukhai:~]# ifconfig -l
atheros fxp0 pfsync0 pflog0 lo0

Doesn't work here - latest production FreeBSD
(4.11-STABLE) of 26 MAR 05.
man ifconfig shows naming features for
ssid, nwid, stationname, and station -
but these appear to be restricted to wireless
environments.
Attempting to apply to an 'UP and Active' rl0
nic fail.
Must this be done before activating the NIC?
