# Run this before 70-persistent-net.rules to allow swapping to eth*
#
# OpenRC, example: rc-update add $script_name sysinit
#
# Then you can use rules like, example:
#
# SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", ATTR{address}=="bc:ae:c5:59:5a:85", NAME="eth0"
# SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", ATTR{address}=="bc:ae:c5:59:5a:fd", NAME="eth1"
#
# You need to have sys-apps/iproute2 installed.
