My firewall randomly assigns eth0 to either of my two NICs on bootup... that is very bad !

For those of you who missed it, there is a bbnameif.lrp package that address this problem.

Add it to your LRP="root license local bbnameif dhcpcd keyboard ..." list of packages to load and reboot.

Go to the bbnameif package configuration and fill:

2) busybox nameif configuration 1st step like so:
##############################################################
# give temporary names to your interfaces to avoid name clashes
# this is used by a first run of nameif to set the interfaces
# to names different than ethxx so they are somewhat unique.
# To use this file enter your desired interface name
# followed by it's MAC address
###############################################################
#t-eth0         00:00:00:00:00:00
eth0a  93:0c:6d:86:22:cf
eth1a  0b:1c:25:38:5a:af

1) busybox nameif configuration final step like so:
################################################################
# enter the final names for your interfaces here
# To use this file enter your desired interface name
# followed by it's MAC address
###############################################################
#eth0           00:00:00:00:00:00
eth0  93:0c:6d:86:22:cf
eth1  0b:1c:25:38:5a:af

Save your configuration and reboot!
