Patch #2 and #3 are optional and marked as RFC, with the following reasoning. Working on patch #1, I noticed that PVE only recognizes interfaces with certain names (ethN/en*/ib*) as physical NICs which can be configured in the GUI. This means that users who want to assign custom names and also use the GUI have to choose names that match these patterns. This seems inconvenient. Aaron had the idea of adding a pattern `c*` specifically for "custom" names. So to maybe start a discussion on this idea, this series comes with two additional RFC patches: Patch #2 changes the documentation from patch #1 accordingly, and patch #3 adds the `c*` pattern. docs: Friedrich Weber (2): fix #4847: network: extend section on interface naming scheme network: describe and recommend `c*` names for custom interface pve-network.adoc | 120 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------ 1 file changed, 105 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-) common: Friedrich Weber (1): network: recognize interfaces matching `c*` as physical NICs src/PVE/Network.pm | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) Summary over all repositories: 2 files changed, 106 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-) -- murpp v0.4.0
