if_de misses name

Fri Mar 12 06:44:44 PST 2004

I just noticed that if_de attaches an iface without name:

# ifconfig
: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        ether 00:03:ff:f1:7a:7a
        media: Ethernet autoselect (10baseT/UTP)
        status: active
# ifconfig de0 inet 10.1.2.3
ifconfig: interface de0 does not exist
# ifconfig '' inet 10.1.2.3
#
well, hm :)

joerg kindly provided a simple patch, see slightly modified version 
attached

cheers

ps: BTW, don't we have iface renaming now? Do userland tools exist for 
that purpose?
