Bug Description
the manpage of iftab has the following paragraph
If you want to use alternate descriptors for an interface name (logical
or), specify two different mappings with the same interface name (one
on each line). Ifrename always use the first matching mapping starting
from the end of iftab, therefore more restrictive mapping should be
specified last.
this is expressed quite confusing the last sentence should read instead:
Ifrename always uses the last matching mapping in iftab.
