+.TH NAMEIF 8 "2008\-10\-03" "net\-tools" "Linux System Administrator's Manual"
+.SH NAME
+nameif \- name network interfaces based on MAC addresses
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B "nameif [\-c configfile] [\-s]"
+.br
+.B "nameif [\-c configfile] [\-s] {interface macaddress}"
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B nameif 
+renames network interfaces based on mac addresses. When no arguments are
+given 
+.I /etc/mactab
+is read. Each line  of it contains an interface name and a Ethernet MAC 
+address. Comments are allowed starting with #. 
+Otherwise the interfaces specified on the command line are processed.
+.I nameif
+looks for the interface with the given MAC address and renames it to the
+name given.
+
+When the 
+.I \-s
+argument is given all error messages go to the syslog.
+
+When the 
+.I \-c 
+argument is given with a file name that file is read instead of /etc/mactab.
+
+.SH NOTES
+.I nameif
+should be run before the interface is up, otherwise it'll fail.
+
+.SH FILES
+/etc/mactab
+.SH BUGS
+Only works for Ethernet currently.
