Comment 12 for bug 32213

My opinion is that a few bugs exist here:
1) /etc/iftab, if I recall correctly, is a file maintained by the ifrename package. I never touched it so whatever the contents of that file are, their the default and if that file should be empty then there's a bug in ifrename

2) it's pretty obvious to me that the _clashed suffix means that something went wrong with the detection of the cards. As I mentioned before, this problem didn't exist in Hoary, Breezy and Dapper Flight 3 (never bothered to test Warty on the laptop).

3) if the card is named with the _clashed suffix, network related stuff should work. But it doesn't. If you read my original report, this was reported against *network-manager* not udev. So network-manager doesn't support interfaces with a _clashed suffix. Maybe because no card should be named like this.
