I am not sure if DragonflyBSD implemented that yet but on FreeBSD you can change device names, e.g:

[root@urukhai:~]# ifconfig -l ath0 fxp0 pfsync0 pflog0 lo0
[root@urukhai:~]# ifconfig ath0 name atheros
[root@urukhai:~]# ifconfig -l
atheros fxp0 pfsync0 pflog0 lo0



Doesn't work here - latest production FreeBSD (4.11-STABLE) of 26 MAR 05.

man ifconfig shows naming features for
ssid, nwid, stationname, and station -
but these appear to be restricted to wireless
environments.

Attempting to apply to an 'UP and Active' rl0
nic fail.

Must this be done before activating the NIC?
