Description

Exist many problem with order interfaces for some HW and VM. e.g. if VMWare use more 4 interfaces, then interfaces sequence will be various.
We can use udev rules for these and other platforms.
Detect by dmi/board_name or dmi/sys_vendor and following rules

For VMWare

Note: If we have interfaces with description on device panel, like WAN, DMZ, etc, we can use predefined alias in this case.

Is this only for crux or also for equuleus? There is also

@jjakob for equuleus too, wait for merge PR. We have also some ideas how we can improve net naming, and fix issues with renameX interfaces after boot.
