There was a big commit to FreeBSD-current to do interface renaming to 
bring it in line with other *BSD.  Below is the commit message.  Is this 
change of interest for DFBSD?  If so, I could start work on it.


I haven't paid attention to many kernel lists, so I have to ask you,
what would this mean in the end?  That all ethernet interfaces, for
example, are named like Linux does: eth0, eth1, what now might be xl0
and fxp0?
Brook's message to this list a few minutes ago explains it better than I 
could.  That's not surprising, since he is doing the committing to 
FreeBSD-current.
