HEADS UP: Network Interface Aliasing

[Hiten Pandya]

Gang,

I have committed the remaining parts of the network interface aliasing 
functionality from FreeBSD which were missed when the kernel part of the 
if_xname was committed.

In order to configure an alias for your fxp* cards, for example:

	# ifconfig fxp0 name 'LAN'
	# ifconfig fxp1 name 'WAN'
You should now be able to refer to them as LAN and WAN, both valid names 
pointing to fxp0 and fxp1.  Note, by issuing the name command, the IF is 
only gets an alias, fxpN will stay fxpN, the new `name' is *only* an
alias.

Hope that helps, and enjoy. :-)

Cheers.
