Description

Suppose that a user has two network cards made by different manufacturers (e.g., Intel and Realtek). Then he wants to configure them using net-setup. All he sees is that he has eth0 and eth1. Which is which? (this order even changes between reboots)

Net-setup should display the MAC address next to network card name, and it also would be nice to look up manufacturers according to this table:
