[OpenIndiana-discuss] Rename network interface

[Predrag Zecevic]

Hi Thomas,

many thanks. This was my case:

:; grep '"rge' /etc/path_to_inst
"/pci at 0,0/pci8086,244e at 1e/pci10ec,8169 at 1" 0 "rge"
"/pci at 0,0/pci8086,1e18 at 1c,4/pci1043,8505 at 0" 1 "rge"

I will fix it as you have suggested (and remain silent if that has worked)...

With very best regards.
