Hi all,
When extending the network configuration it could be very useful to add VLAN trunking
(802.1Q I think) as well.
As far as I know this would follow the alias method quite closely and could use similar
syntax.

Right now the interface name could be arbitrary, so it seems it would
only depend on the magic to set things up right in %post. Does anyone
care to take a shot at cleaning up the "post-network-system-config"
snippet on the Wiki now? We should make it account for mutliple
interfaces first, add it to %post in the default templates, and then we
can teach it about bonding once that is established.
(Also regarding my earlier web comments, this interface change may
prove
a reason enough to clean up the webapp in general --- adding
multi-interface support is going to be hand without making it more
ajaxy
anyway. This might make it a little longer between releases but could
make for some interesting things. Still evaluating -- I'll chase this
while everyone is looking at the networking details, we need them both)
