22.1 Legacy Series / Re: Persistent NIC ordering/naming basedon MAC address(es)

On FreeBSD when I originally wrote this and had USB Ethernet adapters, adding the appropriate if_load_X="yes" into /boot/loader.conf did the trick. I’m not an opnsense user, so YMMV.

I wasn't saying it's not my problem, per se, I said as I'm not an OPNsense user, I don't have the tools to decipher what you need. 

Some other users seem to have it working; does this fit your needs? https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=27023.msg145910#msg145910

Hi; ethname author here.

A few quick comments:

1) I’m glad to hear you’re finding it useful!
2) There’s no need to worry about running it multiple times (mentioned in one of the posts); it is designed to detect names already correctly assigned and gracefully skip over those.
3) If there is something that would improve the experience for OPNsense users (while not breaking it for others) feel free to submit a PR on guthub, even if it’s just a documentation update to describe the best way to use it for OPNsense.

Thanks!
