Is there a hope to get "NAME= rules" back in the future or is there a nice 
upgrade path for at example network rules? I can't believe this because i do 
this for my usb sticks too.

Can i replace this

KERNEL=="eth*", ATTR{address}=="MAC", NAME="lan", OPTIONS="last_rule"

with a Symlink

KERNEL=="eth*", ATTR{address}=="MAC", SYMLINK="lan"

and would this works in the rc.conf?

See you, Attila
